I was talking to a suoervisor in the Hickory call center, and she said they had switched to nextel. That was in December.

psol113-
1) no need to type in all caps...you can make a point without typing in all caps..
2) just because there is a dead spot in Nextels coverage does not mean a business will shun them...having worked for Nextel in the past I can tell you cable companies (including charter) do have accounts with Nextel....and Grog has a good track record here at RR.com and has never provided misleading info so I am gonna believe the info he gave on this subject...
Happy Monitoring!

FWIW - The FCC ULS is showing 5 conventional repeater licenses for Charter Communications that may be accessible from locations in McDowell County:

461.175 - Burke County
461.325 - Buncombe County
463.9875 - Buncombe County
463.450 - Yancey County
464.025 - Yancey County

The most-interesting frequency above might be 461.175 - Burke County. The license was issued issued April 14, 2006.

Although I haven't made any new entries for them in my log for almost a year, Charter techs were using an unlicensed repeater - 453.450 / DPL 125 - residence service calls in portions of Caldwell County.

I live in a charter area (Lincoln) but I've not noticed if their newer vechicles have antennas anymore. I know they used to have 5bd UHF antennas on some of them. Maybe I should pack one of my cars near the local Charter office with the "loner" 246t running a log? That'd be one way to see atleast if they are still running UHF.

I guess I have a homework assignment :)



I will add, the info I got was from a woman I was trying to date. It didn't look like it was going to work out, so I figured I'd get some scanning answers. No reason for it to be a total waste :lol: :D
