Bryan County TRS Frequencies

Yesterday, I noticed that someone had submitted talkgroup information to Radio Reference on the Bryan County TRS. Unfortunately, I cannot hear this system very well at home, so I don't have much info on it yet; that someone else is monitoring the system and sending in updates is wonderful. One thing, however, that I didn't see in the Radio Reference Database Entry was frequency information other than the 851.1125 control channel.

This morning I went to a location where I could hear the system well and heard 3 of the 4 submitted talkgroups and made a list of the frequencies I heard in use:

851.1125 - Control Channel (9600 baud)
852.375
852.625
853.1375

Note: for those that want to monitor this system, you need a newer trunktracking scanner that does both digital voice and can track a 9600 baud control channel. Older analog only trunktracking scanners will not work with this system.

Already a Change in the Bryan County TRS

I found an interesting change in the Bryan County TRS this morning. I've not heard anything on 866.1125 the last couple of days, so I ran a search and came across a 9600 baud control channel on 851.1125. Lo and behold, it has the same System ID that was coming across on 866.1125. I even heard one of the TGs (5008) that I was hearing off of 866.1125.

Running a search on 851.1125, I found that it is licensed to Nextel (expires in 2010):
