Question About CLMRN Sites

[gn32772]

I see there are 2 CLMRN sites in Litchfield County that show only control channels, no voice channels. Does anyone know why that is? Thanks.

If you're referring to Skiff Mtn and Watertown, looks fine to me. Frequencies in P25 systems can serve multiple roles, most commonly traffic and control-capable, especially on smaller sites. Keep in mind that only one channel per site is acting as the control at any given point, and so the other channel functions as a traffic channel, regardless of whether it's control-capable.

Thanks, GTR. I learned something new there.

it's called an Astro Site Repeater, the purpose is to fill in a coverage "hole" without adding a whole additional site.
