The other day I heard my local HOA folks doing some range-testing after I got an analog CloseCall hit on 153.395. This appears to be an input channel for the White Tanks site of the RadioLink trunked system (RadioLink Corporation Trunking System, Phoenix, Arizona). There was no PL/DPL on this so it well could be an LTR input.
I am trying to confirm that this is indeed part of the existing RadioLink system as VHF repeater inputs are not listed in the RadioReference database for trunked systems. There are a couple channels licensed to it (WPOX212) that are not shown in the Site and one that is licensed for Towers but shown here at White Tanks. I have added these channels to my scanner and will try to see what I can find.
Here is what I see from the license, compared to the RadioReference database:
White Tanks
Repeaters, Mobiles
151.6700, 153.0950 (Not listed in the RRDB for either site)
151.7900, 153.1100 (Not listed in the RRDB for either site, some NXDN heard)
151.8500, 153.2525 (LCN 08 at White Tanks in the RRDB)
151.9100, 153.3050 (LCN 11 at White Tanks in the RRDB)
151.9700, 153.3200 (LCN 14 at White Tanks in the RRDB)
154.5050, 153.3950 (Not listed in the RRDB for either site)
173.3750, 160.1850 (LCN17 at White Tanks in the RRDB, some DMR heard)
Towers
Repeaters, Mobiles
173.2250, 157.5975 (LCN 04 at Towers in the RRDB)
173.2750, 160.1325 (LCN 10 at White Tanks in the RRDB)
173.3250, 160.1550 (LCN 16 at Towers in the RRDB)
If we assume that the inputs are paired with the outputs in frequency order then the 153.395 I heard would be repeated on 154.505. I cannot verify what inputs are delegated to what repeaters but it seems pretty logical in this situation that they are in frequency order.
I have heard some DMR on 173.375 as well as NXDN on 151.790 when programmed in conventional mode.
If there is anyone else in the West Valley that listens to this system please let me know what they find. I am not real up on LTR stuff so will try to see how that works with the SDS or 536.
