Avon PD Trying Out P25

[gdsteele]

I was hearing digital transmissions on Avon PD Channel 6 today on my analog scanner. I fired up my Pro106 and heard Avon PD using P25 with a NAC of 293. I don't know if this is a permanent thing, or if they are just trying out some new radios?

I'll keep you posted.

I have been hearing this also on my sweeper but thought they where testing ENC, or having radio issue's.
Time to turn the PL tone off and pay attention (gr)

Good catch

They are licensed for NEXEDGE on that frequency.

That's correct, they are also licensed for P25 (voice & data) and narrow band analog. Their license shows the following emission designators.

20K0F3E 5 kHz deviation FM "wideband 25 kHz" analog voice
11K2F3E 2.5 kHz deviation FM "narrowband 12.5 kHz" analog voice
8K10F1E (C4FM P25 Voice, typically single site)
8K10F1D (C4FM P25 Data)
4K00F1E 6.25 kHz voice NXDN (Narrow IDAS, NEXEDGE)

Looks like they are leaving their options open.
