So I heard an update from my source, “They plan testing in August and plan to go live with it on or around September first” We’ll see if it’s true this time around.

As soon as they get a new home for the osprey nest on one of the towers................

I'm getting a control signal off the tower off US 25 North. What can I do to get color codes and RAN?

What frequencies are you receiving on? Maybe someone with DSD can advise on the color codes.

453.3875 is the only one I'm receiving right now off the Pleasant Lane(?) tower.

They may have indeed (finally) started their testing as planned. Do you have DSD?

Are all of the sites using the same color code? When I’ll get home I’ll try to monitor the site closest to me and see what I can get

None of the other sites are on yet as of a few minutes ago. I went thru every site and Edgefield is only one showing a signal.

Thanks for your valuable info! I’ll see if I can listen and Identify any talkgroups.

Here is a list of frequencies broken down by site (Fixed Locations 1, 3, 5, 7). Location 9 is an extra set of 10 mobile frequencies which I assume will be used as simplex.

460.1250	453.8375	460.3875	460.0750	453.5125
460.3750	460.2625	460.4625	460.2375	453.7000

I haven’t heard anything or identified any talkgroups yet, however it might be due to the tower being too far away.
