Over the last two-plus months I've been trying to confirm a user, which has been a law enforcement user, on the analog frequency 154.085 using the digital PL tone of 506. I'm up here in Fort Worth and have been receiving traffic on this frequency for a few months now off and on depending upon propagation.
I started picking the radio traffic up one night when propagation was real good but then I kind of wrote off the likelihood of it being a user from McLennan County since everybody seems to be getting on or already on the HOTRRS system down there. But that was a mistake on my part to write that area off.
I left my SDS200 recording audio on the frequency from about 4:30 in the morning up until about 9:30 this morning and I was able to get and decode / 100% confirm the morse code call sign. WQSV950 is the station callsign and this is licensed to the city of Woodway in McLennan County.
While Radio Reference does not have this frequency confirmed in its database, this frequency definitely is listed in the FCC database with the city of Woodway, Texas in McLennan County.
This is in the Heart of Texas Regional Radio System area of coverage now and it would look as if this conventional, analog frequency would no longer have any use especially since it's not even listed as a confirmed frequency on RadioReference. But nevertheless, it has been getting used for at least two or three months that I've been listening from up here in the Fort Worth area and the callsign gave it away with 100% certainty as to who the license as with.
Can anybody down there in this region of Texas where the "new" trunk radio system that McLennan County, Waco, and other users are on confirm if they can hear Woodway Police using 154.085 down there?
A few helpful links.
