Yep the Un-Id'ed Casino is 2517 SysID. Some interesting traffic but mostly boring utilities styled stuff with an occasion security (parking) issue. Still have yet to figure out who it is. Whomever it is though is obviously licsensing out of the state???? Is that even possible????
The NSRS is still a work in progress that much is certain. I have it on good authority that they are in the process of turning up sites and keeping them running. And to be very clear on this it isn't a fault of those in the field trying to make it work as much as it is a design/choice issue in the first place. I honestly feel for the poor bastages in the field trying to make 800Mhz and EDACS work across a state as geographically diverse as Nevada is. How many other states do you know that have 14 named mountain ranges? Even the CHP is sticking with the 40Mhz system for use in the Sierras.
I would imagine that we will see a lot more "visible/audible" progress on the NSRS and expect to see more sites in the "Great North East" to be doing a bit more traffic. NHP Elko(regional) will ultimately become their own TG's along with NHP Reno(regional) and NHP Las Vegas(regional). However, not just yet. I'd imagine that we will also see(hear) more NDOT traffic coming as more sites come up to 100% operational status. As I have noted above I'm hearing quite a bit more NSRS lately and this doesn't include Sparks site which I don't hear just yet as well as sites in Douglas County which doesn't even have listings for sites yet, unless I'm reading the DB wrong.
Talkgroup 0421 on the NSRS appears to carry the traffic for the Radio testing and service. I heard them today on the Dayton site and this talkgroup with "testing 1,2,3".
I agree on the small amount of frequencies however if I understand from readings on how this and EDACS work, say in Elko, there won't be much need for a ton of frequencies. Elko sites won't carry Reno or Las Vegas traffic except in special instances and only when needed. Frequency reduction and utilization is supposed to be a selling point (benefit) of trunking to begin with. Even carrying "local" NDOT and "local" NHP I doubt that there will be much demand for more than a couple useable freqs at any given point. But that is certainly a growth/use issue considered if not by the designers but by the field guys and then ultimately the users.
However if other agencies come on board, I'm sure there will be expansion. It's just a matter of time and money.
