WSP is moving to a mixed-mode, multi-band system. They're going to be using Motorola APX 7000 portable radios (1200 of them), and APX 7500 mobile radios (1200 of them). They're going to be using a mix of trunked and conventional sites/systems. IWN is one of them.

Additionally, they're going to be building out eight 700mhz trunked sites.

002001=WSP VA Hosp Seattle NAC 710
002002=WSP Puyallup NAC 710
002003=WSP SeaTac NAC 710
002004=WSP Thurston JBLM NAC 710

These are just best guesses so far.

#3 seems to be north, and I don't think #1 is near the VA. #2 does seem to be south. Would be nice to have a call sign.

2003 is only 1-2 bars but I can pick up the control channel and decode it. So SeaTac seems like a solid guess.

UPDATE: Was out driving around and Tower 2003 comes in full-quieting near downtown Bellevue. Could this be in Seattle?

Callsign? Hell, it'd be nice if they were even licensed instead of hiding via STA.

202 or 2002 depending on how you look at is full quieting downtown Seattle as far north as the U, and I can get it the same at my place in Tacoma with my attic discone.

Just a FYI --

The site control channel frequencies have changed. Here are the current control channel frequencies:

201 774.28125
202 773.30625
203 774.30625
204 773.29375

From my QTH, I can only verify Site 201 is working and active.

Still has the silly CHANGEME callsign too...

They have been bending the antennas for a while to get better coverage. In the early days there was no signal at Sleater Kinney or Nisqually. I just need to get more popcorn and watch it come on line. 002001=WSP VA Hosp Seattle NAC 710 002002=WSP Puyallup NAC 710 002003=WSP SeaTac NAC 710 002004=WSP Thurston JBLM NAC 710 These are just best guesses so far.

UPDATE: Was out driving around and Tower 2003 comes in full-quieting near downtown Bellevue. Could this be in Seattle? Try programming them all with max attenuation... the only place along I-90 where 203 breaks squelch for me is near Lake Sammamish; it doesn't break squelch I-5 south to BFI. Perhaps it's actually at WSP Eastgate, otherwise it's coming down the lake.

Are you still able to hear this one? I was up on top of a hill tonight and couldn't hear 2002 period. Should have been easy from 2500ft. Was able to copy 2001, 2003 and 2004. 2001 and 2004 were next to full-quieting. 2003 was dead when I was blocked from the NE, E, SE, S directions... came to full-quieting as soon as I moved W, SW... so perhaps either beaming from N?

Just a FYI -- The site control channel frequencies have changed. Here are the current control channel frequencies: 201 774.28125 202 773.30625 203 774.30625 204 773.29375 From my QTH, I can only verify Site 201 is working and active. Still has the silly CHANGEME callsign too...

204 at the Tacoma office is working fine, showing 201-203 as 700 neighbors; 107, 111 and 112 on VHF.
