Somehow I missed that. I searched the DB & everywhere trying to figure out who owned the freq at first, but not the forum.

Glad you found the other information you posted, it helps a lot. Just put the information into my frequency list

What brought my attention to the freq. is that it's conventional DMR & I can actually listen to it on my SDR dongle. Most everything Saia seems to be trunked DMR. One of these days I'll get myself a new (digital) scanner.

You can use your SDR dongle to follow trunked DMR! I don't use my scanners anymore, just my dongles!

Single receiver trunk tracking mode was added a year ago in Fast Lane 2.176.

Guess I have a bit of reading to do. I've been using sdr# & dsd+ which was confusing enough at first.

Kind aoff topic but not... Do you guys notice missing calls on a busy system using a single sdr?
