I haven't heard any activity on the state capitol TRS in some time. I noticed my scanners weren't locking onto a control channel so I manually locked the active CC. I hear a strange sound and after comparing it to sound clips I found throughout the internet it sounds closest to MotoTrbo. After reviewing their FCC license they aren't licensed for TRBO so I could be wrong. Is anyone in the area able to monitor and report back?

I've uploaded an audio sample so that people not in the area may be able to assist. https://soundcloud.com/olyscanner/capitoltrs Taken from 858.7375

Yep definitely TRBO. You'll need DSD to decode it.

Thank you for confirming. That was the only 800MHz TRS in Thurston county. I wonder why they switched? And why their license doesn't reflect the emission?

Why would they be trying to extend the range of a system designed to cover only a small area?

Since they've gone TRBO, hopefully that'll clean up the unlicensed use of all the VHF high band freqs at the Capitol campus....But I wonder why they didn't just drop in some BDAs and utilize the 700mhz system?
