Site frequencies need updating(?)

[WestRiver]

Prior to the Phase II upgrade in April, I took a screenshot of the site frequencies for the Terry Peak tower. After the upgrade was complete (and even to this day) the site frequencies have remained the same. After the Phase II upgrade, shouldn't the frequencies be in the 700-900 range, and not analog?

Since the upgrade, I have been unable to get my scanner programmed to the Terry Peak site (or Seth Bullock, Sly Hill, etc.) I've had other scanner gurus look at my programming and they are stumped as to why it won't pick any digital traffic up. It was picking up everything prior to Phase II.

Can anyone confirm my suspicions that the site frequencies listed on RR are not correct since the Phase II upgrade?

Frequencies in the SD Digital system have been will continue to be VHF and Digital. Frequency has nothing to do with whether it's digital or analog.

What brand and model of scanner do you have?

Thanks, I just wanted to clarify. 👍

I've got a Uniden BCD996P2. It's been great, but I've had nothing but problems since the Phase II upgrade. I'll keep playing around though and hopefully I'll get it figured out.

That should work fine. If you're hearing nothing, either there is nothing to hear or the control frequencies listed aren't correct for that site, presuming at least one of the talk channels is correct.

Are you hearing anything on the old system programming for that site?

Did you change the system from MOT Type II to P25? With a VHF P25 you do not need to program a band plan. The scanner will download the band plan from the control channel.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it BUT....I have recently been learning about SDRs and how they and the associated software works. I've been listening to Lead the past week and messing with programming settings etc. It took me way too long to notice but I found that 160.005 is functioning as the primary control channel at the Lead site, at least right now. The database lists two different frequencies as the control channels. No idea, but when I put it in my configuration as that, 160.005, being the control it works perfectly.
Again, no idea if that's your issue. But definitely a quirk I noticed.
