I know that most people these days do not bother with the theme parks and monitoring - because most of them are encrypted DMR.
.... well, at Sea World yesterday - first thing I noticed is that about 25% of the staff carry two radios. Both radios appeared to be full-keypad motorola XPR 7550 type radios - but one of the radios had a 800/900 stubby antenna - and the other, a UHF.
So if you pull the current Db listing for Sea World, you get this:
which is under license: FCC Callsign WPFY335 (SEA WORLD OF FLORIDA INC) - which expired 9 years ago.
current FCC data indicates:
a 900 MHz system here: ULS License - Business, 896-901/935-940 MHz, Trunked License - WQZJ889 - SEA WORLD OF FLORIDA - Frequencies Summary
and a "set of UHF channels" here: ULS License - Industrial/Business Pool, Conventional License - WQFD329 - Sea World of Florida Inc
also note --- the new 900 system above uses completely different freqs compared to the old expired license.
I don't know when I will be back over that way ---- but ---- while that 900 license is probably encrypted CAP+ DMR, I would bet that some of those UHF freqs in the second license are not.
