Thanks for that info. They need a tower there, as it is a busy area for IMPD!

It has been a while since I have been by there I am woundering if this is the old Butler Unv tower they have listed as 38th and Meridian Butler is just north of there and I know Meca said they where using that tower I have not seen a new tower on that corner but then agian it has been a while.

Here is the link for Hancock it is for GE Conv Radio code anything now in 851 to 853 range being trunked or conv "Talk around " is a part of rebanding that is part of the reband deal with Nextel to use that part of the band. Sorry should have said cov not trunked and forgot to include GE code for the FCC as well as YE/YP

Could be that the site you are listening to gets killed by the attenuator. Unfortunately, the attenuator doesn't just attenuate the intermod, it attenuates everything! Whether you're actually having a receiver sensitivity issue or you're just too far from all the sites with the attenuator on is hard to say. I would think you'd at least be able to get a weak signal, but I've never tried listening to any SAFE-T site while in that area.GTO_04 said:

Those are the talk around, you'd have to be pretty close to hear those, I have had them in the scanners a while. I pick them up pretty well at home as they seem to use them a lot in this area. But they have nnothing to do with the SAFET part of things in the county. You may see some changes soon though here as they have done the surrounding counties. Probably will be rebanded when they figure out whats going to happen with the system and whats needed to fix it here in the county. Pretty bad though when I recieve MECA better than Hancock Co.

Yes, Butler is very close to that intersection (38th and Meridian). So I am guessing they are one and the same.

WTBU Butler TV has not been in operation for a while last check they still did Radio. Butler Gave up or should I say donated there tower to MECA the FCC and FAA and DNR have to sign off on it DNR has to determin any envromental effects and there should not be since the tower was already there. MECA has already got ALL of there towers registered through the FCC now see other post on MECA/UCON I already posted those calls on there and the Tower approvals for MECA also they have to check and get approvals for the Microwave links from a lot of soureces that also is listed on the FCC approvals. this is the link that they had to get approvals form it is a long list hopefully the link works

Does any one have info on MECA using 867.7000 as a LT site Meca started using there 867.7000 a month or so ago now today it shows up as a trunking controll channel LT Trunking. they are the only ones Licensed for that 867.7000 freq here local.
What do you mean by LT site?w8fcc said:
Do you mean LTR Logical Trunked Radio?
Sometimes my Uniden BCD396 will show LTR ID on a Control Channel search for Motorola Control Channel searching. I've gotten it on Safe-T CC's. I just ignore it. I have not seen for a long time though. I believe it's some kind of Uniden bug.

This has never done it before untill today on the 996T it showes LT I would think it is LTR but I dont know it shows it as LT and trunks it I am getting Talk group ID's Like a LTR systems it is weird when I pull it up on the FCC web site it shows only MECA having that freq it could be a bug but why would I just get it today not before and get ID's so who knows just woundering if any one else had got it.
Here is a good link to hear what data sounds you are hearing so you can tell between 3600 and 9600 for MECA also great for other data channels you may not know incase some one wants to see a full list of data channel sounds.

Thank You W8FCC for posting this link and sharing this with ALL OF US!!!!!
Please see new link from MECA radio Round up

hopefully this puts to rest that I do know a little somthing of what is going on and from my post on the other thread. It will be a phased cutt over not all at once with both systems running. testing will not start till Feb as they still dont have full FCC approval but should have in the next two months if there is not a big back log with the FCC Im sure all of us will be glad when this takes place and they get on the new system.

Testing will start before the cutover and during it, the coverage testing is what is said to begin in February as quoted here: Coverage testing of both System 1 and 2 is
projected to begin in February. Coverage testing of the buildings that Motorola guaranteed to have in-building coverage will take place after System 1 and 2 are operational.
It may be that testing has already begun as I noticed some odd things occuring today on MECA system 1, #1 is a squealing noise on some frequencies during transmissions, the squeal was on both ends of the transmissions #2: odd TG's popping up on system, specifically in 578**'s and the fact it was school buses, oddly enough they are the same TG ID's used on the Warren TWP School District who is on a seperate system. I do not have the Warren system in the scanner the TG's were showing up on so I know it wasn't a scanner issue. The fact they showed up on MECA 1 is odd though.
I hadn't checked to see if there was a frequency change or not.

I like how they are goign to Guinea Pig system 2 see if it works first before system 1 I have not done much research with system 2 I spent my time on system 1 so I guess I will start on system 2 now.
I got a lot of weird stuff on UniTrunker last night on MECA dont know whats up with that.
