It appears Iowa City has been done. SID:02. Hopefully tomorrow I can get the LCNs done. Also heard a faint CC on 861.0125. So Washington may be done as well???

Awesome, thanks for the update!

861.0125 might possibly be Muscatine/Wilton that you were hearing. Just an FYI. We've yet to hear from anyone down that way.

timkilbride · Feb 16, 2010

Confirmed and submitted:

Iowa City-WQKD875(SID:02):
LCN 9 856.6375
LCN 10 857.6375
LCN 11 858.6375
LCN 12 859.6375
LCN 13 860.6375

Can anyone tell me what frequencies are listed for the Washington. I only have 3, but CC data is showing 4 LCNs. I got the 3 decoded but I don't know the 4th frequency.

TIA,
Tim K.(Mobile)

What system is it? I only show 3 freq's on the license as well. I'm searching for other licenses in the area.

timkilbride · Feb 16, 2010

This is what I found:

Washington-WQKD908(SID 11):
LCN 15 854.5125
LCN 9 856.5125
LCN 6 861.0125
LCN 23 XXX.XXXX

Radioman96p71 · Feb 16, 2010

Cant find a single thing in the FCC database or any other trunked frequencies in that area. Sounds like it will have to be done the old fashioned way or wait till another System 11 comes on the air that uses LCN 23 also. Thanks again Tim

timkilbride · Feb 16, 2010

I threw in the some frequencies that I *thought* it might be, based on other sites. I never did get anymore activity after adding them. That washington side is dead, completely. All I heard was the 1145am roll call and RACOM calling a tech one time after that.

Radioman96p71 · Feb 16, 2010

Yea i dont think anyone is going to miss anything if the Washington site is missing a freq for a while. It will get figured out sooner or later. It seems to be one of those sites that is there only for roaming users.

pm1072 · Feb 18, 2010

They could with that frequency missing. As for Southern Iowa, we need to find some listeners that are South of Iowa City or in the Washington/Mt. Pleasant area to check. Not only do we need Washington checked/completely confirmed, but does anyone have any word on Ottumwa and Burlington?

Observed the following on a handheld in Rock Island:

CC 854.9875 SID:14
CC 856.2375 SID:10

I'm in the Mt. Pleasant area but currently don't have any trunking ability. I know there is a tower in Burlington but wasn't aware of anything in my area.

IF I thought there was something worth listen to, I might invest in a trunking scanner.

Comparing my mobile post to the DB, it appears Moline, Bettendorf, and LeClaire all have been re-banded. The DB doesn't actually note that LeClaire has been re-banded. I did go through Davenport and didn't get any control channels on any of the new licensed frequencies.

Radioman96p71 · Feb 22, 2010

Thanks for the update Tim, seems they have been busy over that way last week! I might venture over there later this week and, while im there, do some scanning and see what the LCNs are for the area. Thanks!

Radioman96p71 · Mar 1, 2010

Well never made it out east, had some issues come up. Hate to highlight a post for nothing but, not a peep on the radio lately for other sites being rebanded yet. Eastern Iowa seems to be the focus right now. If they start rebanding anything else, i will surely post it here. Thanks again to all who have helped on this project so far!

Saw this in this week's weekly FCC grants. Methinks these channels will be added to the RACOM network exclusively for Dubuque. Full entry below.

Thanks for the update! I have updated my list to show the current license. From what ive seen this will add two Dubuque-exclusive channels to Fairplay, WI (Dubuque 1). And add two more to Dyersville as well.

This license effects WQKD893, WQKD869, and WQKD870.

Updated RACOM PDF

compwhiz808 · Mar 9, 2010

It looks like they just modified this license to include all the frequencies into one license. The 2 for Dyersville are new though.

Radioman96p71 · Mar 9, 2010

Updated very recently:

Racom Coverage Mar 2010

Shows all the sites that have gotten new Site #s and the corresponding letters. I will be updating my PDF (again) and posting that later.

RACOM system-wide rebanding starts Feb 1st
