Post subject:  Scanning Washington DOT

Hello,

I'm new here, but I hope to be a productive contributor.

I've got a question about scanning WA-DOT frequencies. suggests WA-DOT has an un-scannable LTR system. I'll confess I haven't probed it much yet, and I'm not savvy enough yet with my BCD996XT to try to penetrate it very effectively.

But FlashP also provided a nice list of frequencies here at: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=6510

So my question is, do FlashP's frequencies give me full coverage in Western Washington and over the crest, or do I need to crack the LTR system - and if so, can someone provide guidance, or better yet a file.

I am building a GPS-enabled Western Washington .996 file I'll happily share for the asking. Still a work in progress, but a just a week or two from being done.

Many thanks.

It's LTR MultiNet. No scanner on the market can track it. Mark listens to it as conventional channels with the squelch turned way up so he doesn't hear the status burst.

DOT isn't very active unless it's snowing. The three 800 MHz simplex channels are good to have loaded, and the VHF links are good but not reliable. I've done the LTR-as-conventional thing, locking out the data channels and attenuating most of the others: you'll hear a bit more, but there are a lot of freqs to load to cover a county.

If you can spend some time and map the system (beyond the licenses), that might help us select the prime freqs to program.
