The WSEX569 license has all sites with same frequencies (simulcast). WSEX570 is a separate site with different frequencies. I'd anticipate more licenses forthcoming, but what do I know.

Yep, believe they were told 2025 possibly but not sure how long for the stationa to switch over. Remember going from Lowband to vhf. Many of the departments were struggling to get radios.

Correct, we have signed a contract for a countywide L3Harris 700 MHz P25 Phase 2 system. The licenses you see are the only ones for the entire system, so don't expect to see anything additional from the FCC perspective, as all anticipated frequency coordination and licensing is complete. System design was approved in late spring, and we are presently going through site leasing and the first draft of talkgroup/fleet mapping now.

As soon as I am able to, I will post pertinent details; at this time I am not able to post anything else.

Everyone, I wanted to bring one of our rules/guidelines to light because it seems some members are forgetting this fact. That fact is that there is a high possibility that your employer may be reading your posts on this forum. Some may not care and some will. Often in the radio communications...

I've seen constables in a county that went digital and it didn't seem like they got the new radios. They're probably self funded and/or under funded.

The inner 12 year old in me would giggle anytime I had to use those call signs.

Back on topic. l’m too far away to monitor this on a regular basis but travel through the area a few times a year. It’ll be nice to be able to add the new system to the monitoring once it converts over. The existing VHF is hit or miss on what I can hear on while on the turnpike but I can pull in Allentown perfectly.
