I wonder if any of the locations In Bell county will be upgraded? The only site I still see is Belton.
Oncor P25
- Thread starter mwjones
- Start date
From the looks of things on the FCC website, the request to add the P25 emissions to Belton was just submitted this week, so it likely will be in the next wave in the coming months. There's no activity pending for the Temple site's license, so that's not in play as of yet.

Over 20 more applications were filed yesterday. I didn't check all of them but that probably includes the entire system. Most of their licenses cover multiple sites.

The whole system will eventually be upgraded.

On all the other sites the RFSS and Site Number are the same. Are you sure it wasn't 207.207 or 217.217?
I thought it was odd as well. Checked with both DSD and SDRtrunk. Both show 217.207
That's got to be a misconfiguration, especially for a Harris system. This should be corrected by Harris at some point. However, we will post what we have.

Looks like that Oncor is recycling their old frequencies for the new P25 system. I noticed that 939.6875 (was Oncor EDACS system for Copperas Cove) is active now as a P25 ststem. Or should I say this could be Copperas Cove.

By the way, I discovered another site. Looks like this is the Belton Texas site now running at P25 as well. I should say this is possibly the Belton Site.

It's not Belton. None of the frequencies are licensed there.
It's either Prairie Dell or Clifton. All three frequencies are the only ones at those sites.

Probably Prairie Dell. I am in Killeen. I finally confirmed the Copperas Cove site to the reference here in the database.

In this area of Texas I had noticed over the years that the ammount of radio traffic deminished over the old EDACS system to the point no traffic at all from the locations I can hear. Now with the new P25 system rolling out I still dont see any noticable radio traffic. I woulder how are the crews communicating? Cell Phones?
Perhaps they tried PTT over LTE and discovered that maintaining their own system was more cost-effective and more reliable.
Tyler site is now showing neighbors
115-115 - 939.900
143-143 - 939.400
177-177 - 935.475
I can't hear any of those CCs from my location. Also looks like they haven't fixed the site numbering, Tyler is still reporting 217-207

I just got all of those on my way to Shreveport today. See the updated database page.

157.157 Palestine
177.177 Rusk

Decatur and Cleburne both show neighbor 105.105 on 938.4, might be Hillsboro, didn't hear it during a road trip last week (Didn't go that far South).

For 115.115, that's a 70 mi path between Tyler and Kennard with three sites in between. That doesn't sound right. Tatum is much closer and is licensed for 939.900
For 177.177, Ben Wheeler is licensed for 935.475 and is 24 mi from Tyler, vs Rusk which is 42 mi from Tyler. Although Rusk could still be correct as there are no other sites (directly between) Tyler and Rusk.
Something doesn't sound right for at least one of those two though.

115.115 is definitely Kennard. It is deep in the national forest and 900 MHz doesn’t travel well there. I drove right through Kennard and could only hear it for maybe 10 miles. As for Tyler showing up as a neighbor, it definitely does to Kennard. I thought the same thing that it was odd but that’s what DSD reported.
