I'm parking a 396 on those two freqs. 101 comes in very weak and 102 not at all. The 396 also ignores the .00005 because it's such an awesome radio [/sarcasm].

T101 comes in very strong with just a rubber duck antenna in Bellevue. I'll also check to see if I can hear any activity.

Yeah, that's all the same sites they're simulcasting the 450 stuff from. One of them (Rattlesnake, I think) got a new tower though.

5hz hardly matters when you're talking about NFM - with a bandwidth 10khz wide.

Rich just fixed the database so it will take the extra digit. It is a shame the 396T cannot be fixed as easily.

Site 101 is strong from BFI.

-Frequencies

-Neighbors
#Format: TowerID,TowerIDHex,System ID,Channel,Frequency,Tower Name
102,"T0102",1f9,"01-1320",770.25625,""

I think the 396 uses that last digit, it just doesn't display it. Would probably take some good test gear to prove that, though.

28001
28002
28003
28004
36351
36863

The 28xxx had at least 9 hits on each, the others had only one. For lack of a better format to post this in, here's the raw logs:

The latest version of Unitrunker decodes this site nicely. I just punch in the freq on my Pro-2006 and it decodes everything automatically:

Two of [King County Metro] Transit’s large technology projects, the Transit Radio System Project and the On-Board Systems/Communication Center System Project, passed a significant milestone with the successful completion of system integration testing on April 23. This test was the first in a series of test phases leading up to the start of bus installations in August. Together, these two projects will replace the legacy Transit Radio System and provide new services for Metro customers, including automated stop announcements and interior electronic signs. The entire Metro fleet will be converted to the new system by the end of 2011.

For 700MHz, you are going to want 6 places after the decimal. The sixth place will come into play for 6.25KHz channels, the fifth place at 12.5KHz.

Isn't it going to be TDMA? I don't know of any scanners that will do TDMA, and any commercial rigs that can do it would definitely go six digits...

Some of it will be the proprietary X2 Motorola TDMA.
