The 800 MHZ frequencies are not online yet. I have them programmed into a favorite list on my 436 and have them constantly scanning since they were first published.

Can this be set up as a separate favorites list on the 436?

Sure, but you will need a real good antenna from your location. It is a low power site, From my place (City west side) a rubber duck does nothing. I had to use a yagi go get a signal for Pro96com.

I know the 4 site system for lancaster, lebanon, berks, schuylkill has been silent with no activity in the last 3 weeks. No testing, no control channel, nothing...

There was a submission over the weekend providing a neighbor listing for Site 1-046 (SNYD06) Shade Mountain which included:

1-004 158.76 DAUP01 Connected,current
1-018 858.4875 DAUP37 Failed,current
1-043 155.67 CENT16 Connected,current
1-044 161.8125 CENT08 Connected,current
1-045 154.905 CLIN41 Connected,current
1-051 158.7975 PERR01 Connected,current
1-063 154.665 MIFF35 Connected,current

That neighbor list suggests that CENT08 is probably online now and that DAUP37 800 mhz probably isn't yet.

In addition, there was also a submission verifying FRAN02 to finally be online.

Allegheny 800 mhz sites notwithstanding, the following sites are known about but haven't yet been confirmed online and added to the DB as of this date:

1-018 858.4875 DAUP37 (Wiconisco / Big Lick Mtn)
1-044 161.8125 CENT08 (Boalsburg / Little Flat) - probably online
1-054 859.1125 YORK01 (Fairview Twp / Reesers Summit)
1-055 859.0625 YORK35 (Hanover)
1-058 155.4450 YORK16 (Andersontown / Conewago Mtn)
1-071 151.3850 SCUH03 (Keffers / Tremont) - online as far as I'm concerned
1-073 859.4875 LEBA74 (?Jones? / Fort Indiantown Gap)

Some of my fellow ham friends had mentioned that there was alot of activity at the various York County tower locations over the last 2 weeks.

Will check the FITG tower site after work and see if it is online.

Thanks, Peter. That'd be awesome if you get the chance.

After cranking up the amp I was finally able to receive site 1.50. I don't receive it as well as site 1.51 which is further away -

Not picking up anything on 859.48750 mhz from North Cornwall Twp.

Thanks, Peter. I guess I probably shouldn't be surpised. Unless somebody just hasn't figured it out yet, there are 800 mhz sites in Allegheny that have yet to be confirmed online even though they showed up as neighbors to sites in the past. Perhaps 800 isn't as much of a priority to them to bring online first versus VHF.

Just a quick update, I have Allegheny County Program in and had a hit. got a TGID: 10101 showing up but didn't get any audio. maybe they just keyed up the mic Unknown what agency this could be or perhaps radio tech
