It has been nearly 3 months since I found the initial control channel for
this system. Since then a lot has happened. Here's what I have so far:

These have been hard to ID since I have been working days the past several
months and the activity on nights and weekends has been minimal.

[NOTES]
With the exception of Site 101, all of the above was culled from the
UniTrunker program available at RadioReference.com:
http://www.radioreference.com/wiki/index.php/UniTrunker. Site 101 is too
weak for UniTrunker to decode and barely works on the Uniden 396.
Based purely upon signal strength, I would guess that site 101 is located
in the southern part of the base, site 102 in the northern part, and site
103 in between.
I have noticed some interoperability between the P25 system and the old
EDACS system. For instance, units in the field have called Range Control
on the P25 system but Control has answered back on the EDACS system.
For future reference, anyone interested in this system can visit the Radio
Reference website and look in the Georgia Radio Discussion Forum. I have
been posting regular updates there.
