St. Tammany Parish Simulcast

[tsmooth]

Hello All, more frequencies were added to St. Tammany Parish's Simulcast System that are not listed on RR. I took a screen shot using Unitrunker.

Thanks a million. How did you discover this as I'd like to learn how. I'm using Unitrunker also but am new at it. Also have a bcd996p2 that i'm trying to learn.

Certainly St Tammany Parish doesn't need 20+ frequencies for coverage in the area?

Being one of the surrounding areas for Metro NOLA,and fully used by NOLA (Note the NOPD TG?)! And the fact that the LWIN isn't upgrading to Phase II for a good while, they need the buttload of freqs just like the NOLA downtown sites to handle the traffic.

All i did was re input the control channel in unitrunker and the new frequencies showed up.

Are you picking up anything on the additional freqs? I'm not getting any hits on them.

Where are you located the st. Tammany simulcast only picks up so far

I'm in Hickory probably less than a mile from the tower. I manually added the freqs and lcns via the site window. I also updated from RR via the site window. One setup uses the little antenna's that came with the sdr's. The other set up uses a homebrew antenna. I'm so close to the tower in Hickory that without any antenna I still get the simulcast. Maybe I missed a step in adding the freqs.?? From the site window I opened the 'channels' windows, added the data there, saved, rebooted, restarted last week. Still no hits on the new freqs. Are you getting a lot of hits on these channels? thanks for the reply.

Ok i looked up your zip code in unitrunker you have to put your control channel as 769.20625 it wont generate the frequencies that i have because im using control channel 770.16875 because of my location

70452 is my zip. just north of Pearl River. hwy 41 and hwy 36. how do I look that up? trying to get the freq you gave me to take. keeps going back to the 770.16875 thanks. trying to learn.

769.20625 doesn't do anything for me. went back to 770.16875. i'm seeing frequency changes during the conversations so i must be getting at least most of the traffic. not sure what is up in my area on the new frequencies you gave. over my head for sure but hey thanks for trying to set me straight. maybe it will sink in my skull later. lol

If it went back to 770.16875 we are definitely on the same tower

okay was trying to add it to the channels via the site window, now i went to the receiver dongle and used that freq for control and picked up no traffic. thanks. i'll just stick with 770.16875 until i get smarter. lol thanks
