Has anyone IDed 385.3125, 385.9000, 386.0125, specifically TGIDs 23808
& 23705? I pick it somehwat frequently, with usually one side of the conversation encrypted but the other one not encrypted.

That's site 102 at Fort Lewis. Or one of them, there are actually two control channels in use simultaneously for 102 (and some others), try 380.2125 as well.

System appears to be nationwide, sites around Puget Sound, southern California, Florida, etc., all with the same SysID.

I don't know the talkgroups...

I have Tower 2 at ft lewis being 380.2125, 380.5500, 380.8375, 381.0125,381.2875. This primarly seems to be Ft lewis units and has limited range. Is this differwent/same then the 385z mgh system?

Also, just to see if i understand what you said about the 385 mgz, can those TGIDs be from out of state?[/code]

Yes there are two sites showing Tower 102, but the one using the lower frequencies (380 MHz) is at Ft. Lewis, the ones using the higher frequencies (384-385) are part of the Navy sites. The other Army sites over near Yakima are showing tower 105, 108, etc., so they seem to be re-using the tower numbers.

Although this system (014) is being deployed nationwide, there is no evidence that all these different areas are linked together. So no, I don't think you will hear units from Southern California calling units in Washington DC on this system.

Sounds like Ft Lewy 'flipped the switch' for the 380 system.
This is the new radio system they've been working on/ talking about for the last five+ years, since I've been there.

Yep, they flipped it late last year. I started picking it up last December...
