[TrunkCom] An L.T.R. Mystery

[dmccorm at charter.net]

The local business LTR in my area has 5-400MHz frequencies and a total of two active ID's. The LCN's were wrong in the database, but using the PRO-97 I was able to catch them quickly. As for the talkgroups, naturally the cab company is real active and I can tell what company it is from the "chatter", the other is so sporatic in use all I know about it is that it is ocassionally used. You can bet I jump on the Hold/Pause buttons when that one comes on, but still not enough clues to identify it, YET... ;-)

The other 800MHz regular LTR system I was tracking at my last QTH was so active during the day that I could not keep up with identification of talkgroups. It was really cool when I found the contracted nighttime road construction crew   on a couple of talkgroups in the same LTR system. Naturally that one went away. That one had lot's of personal telephone calls that could be entertaining at times.
