New License....King William Co.licensed (WQUU454) for 400 mobiles(all county services) @ 2 Watts ERP on 5 unique 799 mhz. frequencies for simplex operation using ONLY APCO P25 Phase 1 and Phase 2 modes. FYI licensees do not modify their licenses for a new mode of operation unless they intend to use it.
If you thought you had problems previously monitoring the King William Co. SO, EMS, VFD see how well you do monitoring any when they switch to 799 mhz. simplex Phase 1 or Phase 2 assuming unencrypted using 2 watts ERP fed even to a high gain omni-directional mobile antenna.
For a comparison envision attempting to monitor an old 27 mhz. AM mode 100mw CB walkie talkie transmission a quarter mile away. Good luck monitoring King William Co. mobiles simplex on 799 mhz. P1 or P2. You'll need it. Don't expect decent reception unless you are relatively close to the transmission(s) source.
