Please submit your reports on Phase II TDMA voice decoding. It would be helpful to have the System/location also. On topic comments only, please I'd also like reports on X2-TDMA if you have it.
Nice decoding on the T mode talkgroups on this Phase II system: Metrolinx - GO Transit Trunking System, Golden Horseshoe Area, Ontario - Scanner Frequencies in Ontario, Canada
Just received the 536 yesterday. Notice the mode switching from PT0 to PT1 during the conversations.
Digitized voice is clear,comparable to P25 Phase I.
2. There are three simulcasts in this system, and only those were scanned on all radios.
What does "three simulcasts" mean?
Three transmitter sites?
Sorry, three Simulcast "sites" composed of multiple tower locations. Two of the simulcast sites have 8 towers and one has 4 towers.
It's really unfortunate and confusing that the Sentinel software misuses the term "site" to mean a specific group of frequencies, but those frequencies can be in simultaneous use at multiple tower locations (simulcasting).
Actually, as UPman indicates, "site" might refer to a single transmitter location, or it might refer to the coverage area of multiple transmitter sites. But so far as I can tell, RR does not contain the actual locations of the transmitter sites for simulcast systems that have multiple transmitter locations.Site refers to a physical place, same as used in RR - not confusing to me in the least. Site may only be one or several freqs.
