Lower Yoder - CAMB02

CC 151.3475

AC 151.1525

Peers: 36, 38, 39, 42

Site 42 is 159.2400 FCC search indicates this to be Tyrone CENTR04.

Site 35?

I had site 39 as Lower Yoder but that is showing 161.8375 CC now according to Derry(36). Derry also dropped one of the 800 sites (31-Penn Hills) as a neighbor, as well as 34 (Scenery Hill) but added 35 and 61 (Alle Simul).

39 is probably Reels Corner SOME02 I guess.

Yes Site 35. Reels Corner only has one frequency listed 159.210, I'm in agreement that it could be site 39.

141.3475 is a frequency licensed to CAMB02, however.

Yes - Dan should have mentioned the site number he was getting, and not just the neighbors.

EDIT: Based on the screenshot, Dan is receiving Site 35 on 151.3475.

Why would SOME02 be a neighbor of Derry? You would have to drive through either CAMB02 or SOME06 to get to SOME02. Certainly CAMB02 would be a Derry neighbor.

My bad I should have mentioned the site number. Sorry

Now you have me thinking, is there a site on PENN VIEW outside of Blairsville ? Just throwing it out there

Rossiter is a neighbor of Derry and Clymer is directly between them, and Kittanning is closer than Rossiter. At least you can draw a line down Rt. 30 between Lower Yoder and Negro Mountain to get to Reels Corner. It's also the next closest site on the map with only one non-marine freq licensed so far.

I suspect it will all change again, I mean the Allegheny Simulast goes right through Pittsburgh and none of the 800 sites are neighbors. It's all guessing until it's not.

Yep. That one makes no sense either.

and Kittanning is closer than Rossiter.

It's not always closer that matters, but yes you would think Kittanning would be a neighbor. I figure that was not because you would drive through INDI01 or ALLE41 before getting to ARMS32 (Kittanning). Really, INDI01 should be a neighbor of WEST30, too (more so than INDI07).

Site 42 online

CAMB02 is indicating site 42 159.2400 is online. I'm not receiving it at all.

Looking at the map, site 42 may well be Rush/CENT04 WQUE827 Tyrone, PA

Info from another thread about the new system:

Joint Hearing on Statewide Radio System - Communications & Technology Committee

Major Stackhouse testimony:
http://communications.pasenategop.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2018/03/stackhouse.pdf

Other links to testimony from Erie, Venango, and Warren counties plus video of proceedings at the first link.

Looks like Senate Resolution 237 encourages counties to join the system.

What version of the DSD software are all you guys using? I have 1.01. Is there a newer one released, and if so, where do you get it?

 

[u2brent]

Find the DSDPlus.txt in your DSD+ folder and scroll to the bottom. instructions are in the instructions.

I'm not using DSD....

I'm using Pro96Com and an Anritsu LMRmaster S412E for control channel capture. . . . . .
when I am not using that I run Unitrunker with an SDR dongle......

It's version 2.98 which can be purchased using the instructions in the DSDPlus.txt file referred to previously.

the newest version is being discussed in this thread.

https://forums.radioreference.com/v...449-dsdplus-2-98-fast-lane-release-notes.html

You have to sent the $$ then they send you the new version via email. that is the only way to get it. (lawfully)

 

[n3obl]

also referred to as DSD Fastlane

Looks like Clymer got added as a Derry neighbor. Updated the site.
