KABC TV Channel 7 NEXEDGE Trunked System

[brandon]

Starting to look at some of the LA news media freqs to see whats changed over the past couple years. The biggest change seems to be KABC using a Nexedge trunk system. They have been on it for several years but I never got around to scanning it. Since they were busy today covering the fire, I figured this would be a good opportunity to monitor it for activity.

Here are some groups logged from the KABC TV Channel 7 system.

Site: L105-3

450.146875 (control)
450.159375
450.309375

1 - Assignment Desk
2 - Transmission
3 - Playback
4 - ?

The following radio aliases were noted

AIR 7 Radio 1
Helinet B/U 1
News Cptr Frnt
Desk A
Desk B
AIR 7 Radio 2
Helinet B/U 2
Transmision Lt
Transmision RT
News Cptr Rear
Playback
Unit 32

I can also see a site called L105-1 but it needs more research. Control channel is 450.315625 but pretty weak here at my location.
