Looks like Norwalk DPW has switched over to a MotoTurbo system.

Guess I will not hear the plow trucks anymore!

They probably dont the public to know when they are coming to their hood to plow the snow back in front of their driveways.lol

I noticed the uhf antennas in the trucks. Thanks for the update. I'll see if I can get some config info for those of us with DMR radios.

Im assuming its this that the op posted in his original post

WQTU 635 464.5250

464.525 is the new frequency. All I can hear is the "motorboat" sound when they transmit as I only have a 396t for monitoring. Have not heard anything more on the old low band frequency but they may still be using that for something else. I will keep monitoring that to see if anything comes up.
The FCC Database does have the new channel as MotoTrbo in the Emission Designator section.
I have submitted the information to update the database.

I programmed this into my DMR radio and after some trials the color code is 14.

Thanks for figuring that out. I started with color code 1 and strangely enough, it worked but it was motorboating.

The active talk group is 9008. I'll see if they use any others.

What kind of Trbo radio are you using ? and is it hard to program this type of a system ?

PJH · Feb 25, 2015

It will be added shortly. I was waiting on a color code and some additional confirmation. Some of the newer TRBO vs NXDN vs flavor of the month systems are getting mixed up with submissions so I am trying to ensure that the correct info gets added to the db

msingewald · Feb 25, 2015

I am using a Motorola XPR7550. It isn't hard to program. But you do need the expensive programming software.

Now if only there was a scanner that could decode this I would be happy!
Thanks to all that helped get the correct information.
