It could be the new site that is being built in Benson. Per google maps it is just north of benson near I-95 between Benson and Four Oaks.

I think you are correct, and the buildout date is still a year away
I have not been to Benson lately so i am unsure if it has been completed yet. I will have to plug in the frequencies and see if i can get anything.
Are all Gates County radio transmissions multi-cast on VIPER?
Noticed an error in the description of two Talkgroups in VIPER list, ALPHA TAGS are correct...
51539 description says AIR and it should be GROUND
51542 description says GROUND and should be AIR
Submitted to database for correction

Please submit that to the database. Thanks
Wake trunked system keeps going down tonight. County Fire, Raleigh PD and EMS have been testing the backup VIPER talkgroups in case needed. Wake Forest working from Emergency Operations Center to handle comms.

Depending where you are, it can be very common. Being in Raleigh I hear local and state TGs from all over every day. If a unit from another area is visiting in your area with the radio on they will affiliate with your local tower and you will be able to hear them.
It would depend on atomosperic conditions, if someone connected to your tower/simulcast is on the tgid that would be active. There's also the reason that troop G and F set their patching to connection to "full" so you can hear someone if they're in another district. Different than Troop H does where you can hear dispatch/monroe on any channel connected to the patching (H1, H2, H4, H6 for one. H3 and H5 for the other) but you can't hear a troopers response on those channels unless it's from the TG. For example, If you're connected to H1 but you hear H4 get called, you won't hear the trooper in H4.
OK, that makes alot of sense. Troop F includes Lincoln and Iredell and with all of them being patched, theres probably a good chance that someone will be within range of that particular tower.
I'm surprised at the users that I've heard on that particular tower. Obviously SHP will be heard on it, but I've heard Iredell, Lincoln, and even Gaston county talkgroups on it.
And, any idea how Troop E patches?
I haven't picked up troop E before. Maybe someone else who lives in the area can advise but I've only picked them up once.
With Gaston being on a simulcast, I can hear Troop G and F all day. After a while, it gets really annoying with how busy they are.
Around the July 4th time until about mid August, I would pick up Wake County (C3)

I hardly ever hear Troop E on my Gastonia list that only monitors the Gaston Simulcast Tower. I figured it was location autolocked due to my programming and not manually adding to the dept range... but I caught an E-6 transmission yesterday.
Sidenote:
I was able to cross reference a few units on TG: 52242 today. They were NCSHP I (Ida) units.
Ida units have several jobs but are typically SHP Air ops
Aren't Ida also K9 and motor?
I know x-ray is Lt-Col.
Here is the list in the wiki...

Thanks for the wiki link. They were Ida-1xx units, which explains why they called in a name/dob on the main channel.
