- Announced Dec 2022, Echo Project for capturing first responder radio communications deep within the wildlands of California and beyond. Watch Duty reporters, (much like traditional news reporters, government contractors, and even utility companies like PG&E) use handheld radio scanners and internet-based scanners to listen to first responders during an emergency. This is how we make sense of what is going on in real-time, between the daily official press briefings to keep residents up-to-date. As it turns out, PG&E and CalFIRE contractors, like dozer operators and water tenders, do precisely the same thing. Contractors and agencies working across multiple regions and states, use the online radio streaming service Broadcastify.com to listen to local radios in multiple regions..

- Pseudo Trunking, basically a single freq DMR repeater with 2 time slots/talk paths. Users are normally assigned a time slot, if group A is talking and group B is on the same slot they can't key up while the channel is busy, even if the other slot is open. Pseudo trunk dynamically lets group B use the other slot. This is a single freq trunking system.
- Multiple repeaters at a site Hytera has XPT, extended pseudo trunking, which makes each slot in any repeater a resource available to any user so they don't have to change channels to find an open slot.

DMR Tier III Hytera vs Tier III CapMax (Motorola)
https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/fastlane-errors.466165/
Then, throw in a system like Selex / Leonardo ( search here for: Goosetown Tier III ). It is not a CAPMAX system, but it does not use an Area ID and does not require +1'ing the bits in the Syscode. Unfortunately, there is no OTA information sent that allows DSDPlus to distinguish that it is a Selex system, so DSDPlus presumes its a DMR TIII Standard system and shows AreaID+SiteID and +1's the bits. I agree, after a few years of seeing TIII systems now, that it would be better to never present the AreaID+SiteID information for a system -- and instead they should be presented as just a model, network ID, and SIte ID. But, I have a feeling DSDPlus would require a significant revamp to do this, and would then require everyone to change how they present aspects of a TIII system in the DSDPlus.* files. But let's assume that miraculously every piece of software was on the same page using Network Model, Network ID, Site ID. There is still the issue of any software knowing precisely when a SysCode is not presenting "the facts", for every TIII system variant, and thus needing to be +1'd. I don't think any software developer is every going to get DMR TIII (including all variants -- standards compliant, Capmax, Selex, etc) 100% all the time because we do in fact know that in the DMR TIII standards there is actually an Area ID and a Site ID, and that there is a very important variable (LA -- length of Area) that is not sent over the control channel / not sent in the SysCode information -- there making it impossible to get the Area ID + Site ID combination correct 100% of the time. GRE/Whistler scanners can't tell the difference and don't truly trunk track and maybe can't even handle TIII. Uniden scanners can't tell the difference between 100% standards compliant TIII systems and variants like CapMax and Selex. Uniden treats them all the same. SDRTrunk appears to treat them all the same (taking in no account for Area ID+Site ID or +1'ing), but I may be wrong about that -- there may be circumstances where SDRTrunk does +1'ing . I do not use it enough to know. And for anything else handling TIII, I'm pretty sure they aren't attempting to display AreaID+SiteID.

- You might not see the LCN for the control channel that you're decoding in the control channel messaging.
- You may be able to calculate the LCN for the frequency that you're decoding if they're using a standard channel raster.
- Typically the control channel is dedicated and typically there are not voice calls on the control channel. And without voice calls, you won't see the application discover the LCN. If there is another site, you might be able to see the peers (neighbor list) which will give you the LCN of the site.

- I DO NOT monitor Aircraft or MilAir. I have made attempts on monitoring Railroads, but can never find interesting to keep me listening.
Nothing about the actual air frequencies that I enjoy either. Local UHF systems/repeaters on an airport are productive listing.

Monitoring DMR or NXDN on Radio Shack/GRE scanners
- These scanners are NOT capable of scanning a system, but is able to pick up the voice transmissions

- I would keep an eye on the slots. It's very possible that the talkgroups can be used on either slot.
- For example Ch. 4 has traffic, which is on SLOT 1, then Ch.2 wants to talk at the same time, ...It will go on SLOT 2, while SLOT 1 is still carrying the traffic on Ch 4. Ch 4 could stop for a second and Ch 2 could switch to SLOT 1. While Ch. 2 is on SL1, Ch. 4 starts back up again and will used SL2 (if they both are still carrying traffic

- When used between 136 – 470 MHz in Part 90 use, this technology is not compliant with 2013 narrowbanding requirements and must be discontinued by January 1, 2013. As of January 1, 2011, this emission may no longer be applied for between 136 – 470 MHz in Part 90 use, unless the applicant certifies that the station equipment meets the narrowband efficiency standard, or the licensee has been granted a waiver of the January 1, 2013 deadline for that station.
VHF Low Band has not been required to narrowband. A 20K0 emission bandwidth continues to be acceptable for nearly all uses.
Encryption
- Encrypted frequencies or talkgroups CAN NOT be monitored with-out permission of the agency. That agency may issue a Encryption Key for use in a two-way radio or Unication Pager to be able to monitor.
Two-Tone Paging
