Has anyone else noticed P25 control channels coming on line in the past week or two on frequencies assigned to Albany County? I've started picking up two faint control channels last week. One is on 854.5375 and the other 859.7125. From what I can tell in the FCC databases, these are assigned to Albany County. They are both showing and SID of 065. 859.7125 is showing as site 001-001 and 854.5375 is showing as Site 001-002. The callsign on 854.5375 is showing as "CHANGEME" and the NAC is 692. I have only seen one TGID (10003) and RID(2321) show up over the past few days and its only been in the form of joins. I have not heard any voice traffic.
Am I off base and assuming this is the new Albany Co system and has anyone else seen this? I am getting very poor reception in my area and so am having a hard time telling if not much is going on yet or if it's just operating under low power right now. My understand was that this was going to be a combination of City of Albany and Town of Colonie's systems. So, I'm not quite sure why there are two sites showing up.
