New Florida 380-400 MHz System Uncovered

My close friend Robert Wyman has found a new 380-400 MHz TRS control channel in the Jacksonville, Florida, area. Robert said his 996 was reporting SID 014 Ch-0113 and the frequency was 386.225. No TGs reported yet.

I believe this is part of the Phase 4 USMC 380-400 MHz system deployment and this TRS is located at Blount Island, Florida. I am seeing all these system using the system ID of 14c.

If you are near the following bases please check out the 380-400 MHz LMR subband for one of these new systems.

Phase 1 MCB Camp Lejeune, NC; MCAS Cherry Point, NC
Phase 2 MCAS Yuma, AZ; MCMWTC Bridgeport, CA; MCAGCC 29 Palms, CA
Phase 3 MCAS Beaufort, SC; MCRD Parris Island, SC; MCLB Albany, GA; Henderson Hall, VA
Phase 4 MCLB Barstow, CA

There will also be deployable UHF LMR systems at Camp Pendleton and Camp Lejeune.

If you are in any of the areas above please do a search in the 380-400 MHz band (nfm, 12.5-kHz spacing) and let us know what you have found. I believe there are new trunk radio systems at the bases above.
