System Notes
From a contributor:
On a recent trip through Southwest Missouri, I heard LTR idle data bursts on 452.800MHz, 452.8375MHz and 461.325MHz.

I heard voice traffic on 452.800MHz and 461.325MHz and I have confirmed the frequencies are part of the same system. 452.800MHz is LCN 3 and 461.325MHz is LCN 4.

OK, now for the strange part:

I can confirm two separate users on this system, a taxi company and a delivery company (both in Joplin). The odd part is how the talkgroups are set up. Each vehicle has its own talkgroup.

The cab company has a base on talkgroup 0-03-001. I heard cabs answering the base on talkgrups 0-03-002, 0-03-013, 0-03-015, 0-03-016 and 0-03-023.

The delivery company has a base on talkgoup 0-04-100. I heard trucks answering the base on talkgroups 0-04-077, 0-04-082 and 0-04-084.
