Wyolink testing

[kd7gxu]

On the WyoLink website there is mention of southeast Wyoming coming on line for testing in 2005. Has anyone heard what frequencies that will be used. I briefly hunted through the ULS site to see if there were any obvious new freqs, but there didn't seem to be any. The system is supposed to be a Motorola II system on VHF high band like South Dakota's. I believe the legislature did approve some money for it. Colorado's system seems to work pretty good if you are near a tower. I wonder if the system will come up and be left analog like Cheyenne fire. Hopefully this will start a discussion so we all can learn more!

I believe the system is suposted to be P25.

South Dakota's system is P25, but usually these systems handle analog as well. I bet that a lot of agencies won't have the money for P25 radios so they will stay on their own repeaters untill the price comes down or grants show up.

I just located this from the fcc web site, 154.875 is simplex, the others are repeater output :lol:

Alaska ALMR System, like the upcoming Montana Statewide Criminal Justice Shared Radio System, are both 100 percent P-25 VHF systems, using a 9600 baud control channel. If the WyoLink System went the same route as the two other aforementioned systems are heading in, I would not be surprised at all. However, anything is possible in this day and age.

P25 Trunking is spec'd for digital-only operation. You could patch to an analog system but in reality both systems would operate independently of one another.

I am not sure if the system will be 9600 baud or 3600 baud. I did here it will be able to run slow data?
I person will need trunker to decode the base,offset and channel

If you read this document very carefully, it only mentions that only digital radios will be used, and the system's data speed is set at 9600 baud:

I think it's a sure bet that 99% of NEW systems from now on will be P25 9600 type.

These frequencies are licensed for Carbon County. I wonder if the same license will be used at all the sites statewide. I had heard that the plan was to get output freqs on 154-155 and get inputs on 151 and 159mhz so that cheaper duplexors could be used. It seems like a tall order to have the systme running before Frontier Days as that is only six months from now and the first licenses are just now in pending status. Thanks to Goldendome for posting the info!
