Still nothing heard yet driving down 412 into west Oklahoma. I was hoping I'd at least hear a peep!

I fixed a couple errors in the wiki and added a map link at the bottom of the page.

Still haven't heard anything on any of the frequencies listed.
Enid’s link was active today. I’ll get info later off scanner so it can be submitted.
Enid’s link to which area..?

Hey Travis. I see you submitted the new 700 repeater in Enid you found the other day. Just curious, did you actually hear someone talking on it? Were they talking to Enid headquarters? Just curious. Thank for the update. Happy Scanning!
Sorry, I forgot to revisit this the other day.
Yes, it was troop J units speaking to troop J headquarters. That was the only traffic I heard on the frequency for the four or so hours I was there. Traffic was coming across on TG:1. I'm still questioning the NAC though. Using Universal Scanner Audio Player, it shows 073 as the NAC. I question this as the OKWIN sites were showing something like 22343 as their NACs instead of the usual 92x NACs when viewing the recordings with that software. I'll verify next time I'm in the area and submit corrections if needed.

NAC can't be higher than FFF hex (or 4096 decimal).
I just don't understand the rational of creating a whole, separate system, when you already have the OKWIN network to build on.
Cost, resources
Yeah. Thats why I question that value, since it is displaying OKWIN wrong.

About the only useful things you can collect from a conventional P25 repeater are NAC, talkgroup IDs and radio IDs. Also what it is actually used for and if you hear it patched to other systems.
Yes, it would be nice to confirm the NAC, since I suspect what I got might be incorrect, and monitor for any additional TGs.

Application for two conventional repeaters at the state capitol.

Now why in the world would they need those? There's OKWIN, OKCs system, OMAC, and not to mention OHP's analog stuff to choose from, seems like a waste to me.

The State of Missouri is implementing a very similar plan....significantly commensurate...and.....
they appear to be in the same situation as Oklahoma.

Not similar at all. MOSWIN is all trunked. The new 700 MHz sites in OK are conventional. Where is MO putting up conventional 700 MHz repeaters?

Missouri did it right and used a dual band system. There is no reason is Western Oklahoma with wide open area to use 700mhz other than Motorola is able to charge for more sites. They already have VHF radios in their vehicles that could have been used. Instead of using 3 watt/35 watt radios. Waste of resources.
