The frequencies in use at Site 2 are licensed at Holly Hill, and are the same frequencies as the Daytona Beach site of the EDACS system. Someone should probably check that EDACS site to see if it's still on the air, or if it's exclusively P25 now.
Holly Hill is the "Daytona Beach" site.

I came down 95 a few days ago and I got nothing on the P25 system for Volusia. I couldn't lock on to the CC out west on the G5. I'll throw Holly Hill in for my way back north.

Yup, I'm aware, which is why I suggested that someone check the EDACS site at that location to see if it's still on the air or has switched to P25. ;)
it looks like the Daytona EDACS site is up still as well as the P25

The short answer is both - and from the same site. Right now, 857.2125 has a P25 CCH and 860.2125 has an EDACS CCH. 856.7125 is passing voice traffic on P25. I haven't heard anything on 858.2125 or 859.2125, but they may be part of the P25 or EDACS systems. I haven't heard any EDACS traffic on 860.2125. I'll hook up DSD+ in the morning and let it run.

I'm using Unitrunker v2 and I'm attempting to enter the info shown on the RR DB in order to get site, channel, group user, etc., info
However, none of the values offered for the Site (West Site) nor the Unique DB ID, seems to be appropriate for Unitrunker.

Seems to me the problem lies with Unitrunker choice of terms.

They require, in addition to Protocol (EDACS96) Network and SID values.

Regardless of whether I use the Unique DB ID of 188,in either the Network or SID field in Unitrunker, it doesn't work or the software returns info from another place.

If anyone here speaks Unitrunker and can help with the translation...much appreciated!

The SID is 199...where are you getting 188 from? 188 is Baltimore's old Type II system that was shut down over a decade ago.

Yep, as soon as you input the right SID everything should work as planned. There's no problem with Unitrunkers' choice of terms.

in the link to the system on RR
I'm not seeing it. Does it say SID or is a conversion from hex? Come to think of it, after coming into the database from the county link, I don't see the Unique DB ID field now, either. - edit: never mind about not finding a Unique DB ID field. I see what I did wrong. But where do you see the SID?

Hi everyone, I'm new to the Unitrunker software. The volusia county Edacs system is running still. I'm listening to site number 2. control channel there using right now is 856.4875. I use Unitrunker with one Noelec sdr. I have my system set up with 2 vcos. one on the signal the other on voice. I had to manually enter all the frequencies for site 2 which is called the county East system.. unitrunker is following the frequencies pretty good. I would like to know if you can listen too a specific talk group using unitrunker. when I try to use DSD+ with unitrunker it doesnt work for some reason. I have the audio piped to my VB cable.

I don't think that Unitrunker will work with DSD+ or vice versa. 2 Different softwares not intended to work with each other. Especially with a legacy EDACS System.

Have you tried Trunking recorder with Unitrunker? Sounds like it might fit your needs better.
