Tom and the group

I ran Unitrunker for a couple of hours on the 4 sites I can hear.

Unitrunker is showing the following frequencies for the
Azle site:
152.1800 CC
152.8100 Alt CC
152.6000

Agnes site:
152.1200 CC
152.6000 Alt CC
152.7800
154.2500

Annetta Site:
152.0900 CC
152.5700 Alt CC
152.7500

Weatherford Site:
152.0600 CC
152.5400 Alt CC
152.7200 Alt CC
154.7250
154.8750
155.3850

The sites I can’t hear is the Weatherford 700, Cool, and Palo Pinto site.
If anyone want any more info from Unitrunker logs let me know.

See if Agnes, Anetta and Weatherford all have the same NAC. Last I was able to check they were 6E0 but they might have changed.

I’m running Unitrunker on the Azle, Agnes, Annetta, and Weatherford site and
I’m getting some weird readings from the Azle and Annetta site.
Azle is showing:
152.0900 CC
152.8100 Alt CC
152.6000

Even when the Control Channel is on 152.1800

Annetta is showing:
152.0900 CC
152.1800 Alt CC
152.5700 Alt CC
152.6000
152.7500
152.8100

Control Channel is on 152.0900

Weatherford and Agnes had no changes.

I started today with clean logs in Unitrunker, I’m going clear the logs again
and rerun Unitrunker and if I get the same results.

Unitrunker will often create fake systems, sites or channels if you change control channels without stopping the receiver first and then restart it after tuning to the new control channel.

Thanks Tom that helped, but I’m still getting weird reading in Unitrunker.
1. I started with clean log file (delete all files in the log folder)
2. Put the scanner on the control channel (Azle site)
3. Start Unitrunker, let run for an hour
4. Stop Unitrunker, close Azle site window
5. Change control channel to Annetta Site
6. Start Unitrunker, let run for an hour
This is where it gets weird. The frequencies are the same as listed on RR,
but while Unitrunker is on the Annetta site it open the Azle site window
and adds 152.0900 to the Azle site as a alt. CC. I can stop Unitrunker,
restart it on the Azle site and it will add 152.1800 to the Annetta site as
a alt. CC. I’m getting 95+ % decode rate.

I’m running an old laptop with Windows XP Pro SP3.
Unitrunker 1.0.26.16 I can’t get any newer version to run because of a
WINUSB error.
GRE PSR600 Discone Antenna up 50 foot.

Not looking for help (wrong froum) just adding the info about Unitrunker.

Thanks again

I'll look and see what I have when I get home from work, assuming the wife left things alone over the weekend.

Michael you may have been polluted by fake channels or sites. I get that a lot on weak control channels with a low decode rate (health meter is red). I think part of the problem is when it receives channel grants or neighbor lists without decoding all the band plans first. You might have to delete all your sites, band plans and channels and let it repopulate all the channels one site at a time. Then check the confirm box for every channel that you know is real. I label all my channels with the site name so I can easily spot new ones that show up and figure out if they are real or not.

Thanks Tom and burner50

All the sites I can hear have full green bars in Unitrunker, just a little weird.
I think I'll try Pro96Com tomorrow and see if it shows anything different

The Weatherford 700 MHz site now has traffic on it. I haven't been able to receive it for a couple weeks and don't know when it started.

There is activity, but not a whole lot...

Been monitoring for a few minutes, and it seems that most of the activity is from Lifecare dispatch.

It is also up to 11 channels, and only showing to be P1 digital.

I noticed that the last couple band openings that there is no more Cool site 1-004 on the other site neighbor lists. Is Cool gone?
