Hello,

I am working on a version of Trunker to decode LTR. The following is the system I test my Passport code on.

VoiceLink is a wide-area Passport LTR system covering most of CT.
http://www.voicelink.net/

The system build-out is being done by Marcus Communications. They are licensed on many UHF frequencies at a number of sites in CT. Not all frequencies licensed at a site are used by VoiceLink.

Passport LTR can not be trunk-tracked by a scanner. Computer based methods are being developed. LTR idle bursts are about every 2 seconds. Turn off channel delay to scan conventionally. Passport LTR does not use repeater numbers like regular LTR. It uses a direct frequency number scheme for go-to and free frequencies. Each site has a System ID number (SID).

Here are the sites in Eastern and Central CT that I have received.
SID 10 Bolton, Tolland 461.0500 461.3500 462.0250 463.6000 463.6750 463.9500 464.9375
SID 20 Avon, Hartford 451.0625 451.1375 452.3875 452.4000 452.8500 463.2125
SID 40 Hartford, Hartford 454.0250 461.8875 463.2250 463.5875 464.4375
SID 50 Wolcott, New Haven 451.0375 451.2125 452.9125 461.5875 464.7875
SID 60 Durham, Middlesex 451.9875 452.4375 463.8875 463.9125

SID 70 Killingly, Windham 451.2125 451.8625 461.9125 464.6375 464.8875
SID 80 Ledyard, New London 452.0500 452.6500 452.8000
Possibles: Trumbull 463.9375, Danbury 463.3125, and Stamford 452.2375

Eric, do you feel comfortable enough with the data to add this system to the RR database? It would be nice to have everything about the system collected in a central place.

Hello,

Thanks for posting the site 30 info. I added it to the scanner. I again had "lift" last night and picked up site 30 as well as a couple of other ones. Scanning the 406 band I was able to get the Fort Dix, NJ trunked system!

I need to go over some data this weekend before I would feel comfortable about posting.
