THP Fall Branch comes online today. Will have TGID in a bit.

No not until the end of July..................

They just started to do the install of the mobile units this week......

 

[slatescan]

heard them tesating today dunno the switchover time line

 

[rkm1215]

What site/s are Carter facilities using? I know if a local radio is parked on the TGID on Sharps or Greentop traffic can be heard, but that traffic is likely being transmitted to those towers via microwave links so wouldn't the Carter area Troopnet/TVRCS sites have to be online? Same for Fallbranch area. Seems like there are some towers missing from DB if Fallbranch is testing today.

 

[slatescan]

Just heard south central prison on the nashville TVRTS/Troopnet site. those of you in wayne county check the 800mhz band for a new CC

 

[123easy]

I think they are doing the testing and installs somewhere in Knoxville for the Fall Branch units

Slatescan has logged additional sites vias Pro96Com and will be submitting the data so we can add it... Oh and Slatescan, LOG those TG's please!

773.70625 is online. LaFollete site in Campbell county, TN. I don't have Unitrunker or anything so can't verify whether alternate or control channel, but the licenses are WQQB673 and WQQE557. Not submitting to DB as I can't confirm all info.

I can confirm the Grundy County control channel is 771.25625.

I am hearing a weak control channel on 771.43125 MHz, it must be Hawkins County, WQQE562, online. (THP District 5)
Still nothing from my county, Cocke.

As I posted yesterday, the control channel the Grundy Co. site is 771.25625. However, the frequency that is displayed when they are talking is 770.406250.

I do not expect Nashville to join for several weeks as they install infrastructure. That said Nashville dispatch is active on the system.

I haven't heard any Nashville units on the new Troopnet system. Do you know what the talkgroup number is for Nashville THP - District 3? (Chattanooga is 47004 and Knoxville is 47000.)

 

[EZlistener]

Not to take issue with 123easy's post about Fall Branch not switching yet, but I can confirm that low band channels 1H (dispatch) and 5B (car-car) on English Mountain are now silent.

I know a guy who knows a guy. They are not switching over until the end of July or mid August.....

Just a little note: Those 2 freq licenses, will have an license you are not seeing yet for an 3rd freq pair. All the sites that are TroopNET are 3 freq minimum. Thats for the 700, 800, and VHF sites. Once they are fully online, and in Wide Area Trunking, and someone runs UT, T-88, or Pro96Com on them, you will see the 3rd popping up in the listing. Thats if your scanner doesn't show it first. The 3 frreq sites, as has been stated many times will also primarily be TDMA, but have compatability mode on at least to start with.
