There is an application (ULS Application - PubSafty/SpecEmer/PubSaftyNtlPlan,806-817/851-862MHz,Trunked - 0006077861 - CARROLLTON, CITY OF) to modify the Carrollton Public Safety TRS to add two new sites. The new sites are:
Water tank at 100 E. Hebron Parkway, Carrollton TX
Water tank at 345 Freeport Parkway, Coppell TX
Driving past the Hebron Parkway site today, I saw that the new antennas have already been installed. Since the modification only lists the current analog modes, I assume that this upgrade will be done prior to the move to the approved upgrade to P-25 Phase II that is expected to be done in the next 12 to 18 months.
I have heard several PD Officers complain to dispatch of reception issues and dispatch requesting retransmissions as well. Also when Lewisville is on the system when theirs is down, there are generally issues with some of their users getting good signal strength as well. These two sites should help both situations.
The new sites may also allow Coppell to do their migration earlier than when the P-25 system is done since their site may be operational sooner. Not too sure how to tell when the sites have been activated unless they happen to make the simulcast issues worse for me.
