Possible new DMR radio system in Edgefield

[shajoe44]

When the neighbor sites appear it is showing CC=2403 for Trenton and CC=1341 for Edgefield. When I enter the Control Channel frequency for Edgefield in the DMR Tier III calculator it comes back as CC=545 and for Trenton CC=1607.

ECSO is testing area towers at present.

Just got thru listening to the recordings made by my scanner over Thursday and Friday. They went all over the County and to all known dead spots. Everything is coming in loud and clear.

QUESTION....It looks like the Merriwether site does not show Trenton as a neighbor and Trenton site does not show Merriwether as a neighbor. The other 2 sites show the other 3 sites as neighbors. Any reasoning why this is happening.

NEW LICENSE issued to Edgefield County...........

Well, what gives?? I do not receive any frequencies from the closest sites (Trenton, Edgefield), nothing for the last two weeks.

I've heard some rumors, and I find them hard to believe...

They have been doing test alerts on our active 911 phone apps for some reason. My understanding is that they are waiting for carolina connect to come in and do their thing at the new LEC before dispatch can move there and go active. That's the RUMOR.

What frequencies are you monitoring on those 2 sites? I am getting all 4 sites, but the line at bottom of my DSD is red, which usually indicates an issue.

I have all 5 frequencies listed for those individual sites and my 996P2 is supposed to scan all for the control. Not picking anything up.

I did hear a new (to me) TG on the county NXDN testing around the county. Don't know...

 

[shajoe44]

What was the new TG number that you heard?

 

[AB4BF]

What was the new TG number that you heard?

It was (I think) TG 59001 NXDN. I've got it down in my notes, but I didn't try to look it up. Just heard what I thought was radio testing and jotted the TG down.

Has this system been added to the database yet?

No, They are in process of making the system work. It seems the process has suspended for some reason - as KQ4ILU stated, waiting on Carolina Connect fiber optic internet. I've been waiting on Carolina Connect for over 5 years now...

Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the update.

Does anyone know why the Edgefield site is showing as non operational?

 

[AB4BF]

For the last couple of days, the Trenton site is transmitting a carrier on 460.0250 MHz. Haven't heard any testing as of yet...

 

[shajoe44]

All the towers are up and running. Just nothing being transmitted yet.

 

[shajoe44]

System will transition to the new Motorola system tomorrow, July 1st.

Are EMS and the fire departments making the transition as well?
