Just did. I noticed these 3 frequencies I added are also listed in the old P16 system, but it seemed to wake up everything in the west. I also get a "Slot 1" intermittently blinking, not sure what that means. Maybe there is some kind of transitional thing going on between the new P25 and old P16, as far as the west simulcast is concerned. Anyway, I explained all of this in the submission. Guess they will know what to do with it.

Interesting. Maybe they're playing with a TDMA CC. Not sure if the Unidens are capable of decoding that, though. So it could just be an error. Thanks for sharing!

I see the updated frequency list for the West site has landed in the database now. Thanks for researching that and getting it submitted. And thank the admins for making it happen!

Interestingly, I also noticed that Sentinel is not picking up three frequencies listed for the East site in the RRDB. Specifically - 857.7375, 858.7375 and 859.7375. This is in the latest update of Sentinel from Monday (06 Mar). Why those frequencies are not being imported into Sentinal when Uniden downloads the RRDB each week I’ve no idea.

Please ignore what I just said! I was looking at the wrong thing and thought I saw a mistake that isn't a mistake. Oy!

The FCC database is also showing 853.65 for the East site which is not listed in the RR database. It also shows 9 frequencies for the Scottsville site instead of the 3 in the RR database. We need to get a definitive answer of what frequencies are actually used.

FCC Database - Scottsville site:
851.125
851.675
852.425
853.9625
854.6375
856.1875
856.4375
857.0125
858.4375
