Awesome! Having some of my freaky ducting from Raleigh and Bay Springs right now, in daylight hours no less! Raleigh is unchanged. Bay Springs has new neighbor sites 232 and 235 with CC freqs as reported by marvin above. FINALLY P2C is officially in wide area trunking it seems.

Ok so who's up for a trip to that area to nail down the rest? :D


I can make that trip, but it won't be til the week after Christmas...

Sounds great. :) As it happens conditions were pretty good last night and I caught 232 for a little while. Tried for the others but with the way they reuse freqs. it just isn't going to happen without some super duper ducting that wipes out towers closer to me with the same freqs. Which does happen occasionally. I've actually had the Sandy Hook site totally wipe out Fountainbleu a time or two for instance.

Here's 2 new locations I managed to get on when I was up North. Forgot I had these.

OK P2 is going to have a LOT more sites than P1 based on these findings so far.... over 60 if they all become permanent sites. Will add these tomorrow. Still surprising that they need over 10 more sites so far to get the coverage they need.

Those are still the temp Delta flood sites that were set up last spring. and they're still in P3 not P2. 2 SOW's and 4 pre-existing tower locations using on-hand spares. Been trying to get more specific locations on some of them but haven't had much luck so far. That 253 log should help a lot since it has P2 sites as neighbors. I'll look at it closer in a bit, and advise. Also see the 98 SOW in 254 so that should help too since we know what county it is in.

There's been a whopping total of 1 site each added in both P1 and P2 so far(144 and 250). pretty far from 10. As said previously though, I'm sure as time goes by a few more filler sites could show up for in-building coverage, etc.

Ok, so 253 is definitely what they hung on the CS tower in Washington County and now we know the SOW at Sarah is 98. :)
I'm guessing 254 will the be the Bolivar County EMA tower. Given those are the 3 sites you logged. Going on all that I'll also guess they are numbered in ascending order from south to north, making the Coahoma Co. CS site 255 and the DeSoto Co. EMA tower 256.

Other than the Bolivar EMA tower, it's actually listed under their name in the ASR database, not much way to know the exact locations for the others without actually going and looking for them. I'll work up subs for everything else just using the county centers for now. May make some adjustments once I can see them on the RR Locations map.

Thanks a ton for the those logs. They were a great help towards filling in that gap. :)

Can someone tell me if RS makes a base/mobile unit that will work on the MSWIN system? if so what is the model # and is it any good?
Thanks in advance

Just checking in from Missouri and would like to the status of any sites above the Jackson area to the state like at TN.

Thanks and hoping your Christmas went well.

Sweet. So it looks like P2C is 100% now and at least some portion of P2D is in at least site trunking. Thanks for the updates as always. :)

This should be the last batch of these. I believe the only one we're missing is 248 which doesn't appear to be online. I'm reposting 245 as it was missing some data from the previsous post.

Interesting about 252. It's neighbors put it somewhere around where 20502 Louisville SE will be. Since that site ties together the entire P2D area seems they deployed another on-hand spare to tie in others in that phase that were already built out before the planned 20502 could be completed.

Explains the SOW 99 being at Duck Hill too, which would fill in as one of the two hops into P3 I guess. (20506 to 30212 (SOW 99 for the moment))

I'd make a small wager 251 is in Columbus as a temp fill in for 20507 since it is the only other hub in P2D unaccounted for and would be needed to make the connection to West Webster.

Everything up to this point submitted...maybe those and the other pile of subs I have will get worked by the end of 2012 at the very least.

Not sure if this is the correct thread to mention this, but this morning I've been hearing traffic from MDOT and F&W on the Ashcroft MSWIN repeater in Monroe county. None of it sounded local, as the places mentioned were all in other areas of the state. First time I've heard any traffic from either of the Monroe county repeaters.

Nice, and this is certainly the correct thread. MDOT Enforcement dispatch is statewide so yeah you'll hear traffic from the entire state from them on 13200. F&W seems to normally dispatch on regional channels as listed in the DB though. I'll take a guess that you were hearing the Central B (22655) channel? Thanks for the feedback and keep it coming. :)

One thing to keep in mind though. There is a lot of reuse of freqs. on this system so it's possible you could have been hearing one of the other sites that use the same CC. Not saying that is the case, just saying, for everyone's benefit, that it is possible and to be sure to check the CC and see what site ID is being displayed.

Now that this stretch of crappy weather has finally cleared out there's some decent ducting going on. As I type this I'm getting LWIN traffic from it's site 179 on one of the alt CC's for Fountainbleu for example, and was also this morning.

I'll have to go back and look to be sure, but I think the F&W that I was hearing ended with 33 on the talkgroup ID. I was using Pro96com software and it identified it as the Ashcroft site, so that's why I figured it was accurate, but I do get what you're saying.

Didn't hear anything more on it after about 9:00am yesterday, and it has been quiet as a mouse this morning as well.

Thanks for the reply.
