As of this afternoon.. I was in Northern Copiah County and was monitoring the Madison County freqs..... On both 154.9950, and 155.7750 I was hearing LTR Data Bursts every 8-10 seconds..... I will have to go up that way again soon.. and will put them in as LTR and see if I get any TG's.... and listen closely to see if its a bizarre image, or in fact MCSO has gone to LTR...... Thoug if they have.. their is NO indication in the FCC Data of this.

On a side note.. I see Entergy has reinstated thier 900 MHz system liscense for Madison Co.

Why would you expect to see anything in the FCC database to indicate they are using LTR. All the FCC provides is license info on location, frequency, antenna height and modulation bandwidth. They don't care what type of system it is. Just as long as the modulation is done per the bandwidth.

The FCC regulates whether or not you will get a trunking liscense based on various things.. and 90 % of the time when you are going to do a trunking system its indicated by the YW for Public Safety Trunking....

Though for a few LTR Passport UHF systems they are listed as PW (Conventional Public Safety Pool)....

Look it up if you do not believe me....

Trunked systems for the most part are listed as YW, YO, YI, YU, YP, YF etc....

The Y indicating trunking.

The FCC regulates not only the bandwidth, modulation, service, and whether its going to be a TRS, and has very specific regulations for trunking.

Just for info the MCSO is still on vhf high band. They do have a new high band freq. that they use for patrol now. The 154.995 is only used now for a backup and for local police in Flora.

OK cool... That means MCSO- 155.755 is F-1, MCEOC-VFD's is 159.090, and 159.9150.....
MCSO-FPD is 154.9950, and FPD is 155.7150....

And MCEMA is the two UHF's?

I really need to get up that way again and grab tones..... :)
