Here is what I've gathered on the Nevada Test Site trunk system. When
it doesn't match radioreference,
http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=TRSDB&sid=3265
then you have something to investigate. ;-) This is only for the
systems heard in the ranges. I never checked out the system at the NTS
facility in North Las Vegas. I've monitored Nellis AFB using 407.25 as
the CC. I don't list the Nellis system because it acts peculiarly in
M-trunker. However, it does seem to use the same parameters as the rest
of the system. I'm only showing one control channel for each system
because that is all I ever heard. [This doesn't mean what is found in
radioreference is wrong, but rather I never heard those alternate
control channels used.]
The system has a split. This requires an extended table for a Pro-96. I
don't know how Uniden handles this. Based on my monitoring, the split
could be anywhere from 707 to 712. I'm using 710 because someone
submitted that to radioreference. If you are not familiar with split
systems, basically past a certain hex code, the equation to compute the
frequency changes. If you don't program the split, the scanner switches
to the wrong frequency and you hear nothing. By logging where this
occurs and noting this for multiple systems, you can narrow down where
the split occurs.
While I'm boring you, the equation to predict the frequency is:
frequency = (decimal code - offset)*spacing + base
The first offset is always 380, which I assume is a Motorola designated
parameter. Looking at the data, the spacing for the first set is likely
to be 12.5Khz. You can solve the equation for the base and then see if
it matches the data you gathered. The second set of parameters is
similar, though you have to find that location where the first set of
parameters doesn't work, i.e. the split.
My system numbers are whatever m-trunker indicates. This is one way of
being consistent. Since I don't know what software the other submitters
to radioreference.com are using, I can't vouch for how they determined
the system numbers.
I'll have to dig up my log book to indicate where I heard each system.
That info in not in my database.
Note that if you want to monitor the June 2nd explosion, I have two
suggestions. First, you should get out of Vegas. It is possible the
talk groups will be relayed to the North Las Vegas facility, but that
is only if a person associated with the test happens to have a radio
logged on to the system in North Las Vegas. I'd suggest driving to the
ranges. Without a lot of effort, you could drive to Cold Spring, the
town behind the prisons on route 95. You could also drive to Mercury,
but you would have some altitude at Cold Spring. Second, you should try
to monitor the system at least the day before the big bang. It is been
my experience that they conduct dry runs of these tests with a very
cool count down. My guess is the explosion will take place in Area 4,
but I'm going to try to get better information.
