CC changed to 857.9375 today. The 856.1125 is now playing CC for the analog system.
Back to 856.1125 this morning, 996XT took the 857.9375 and ran with it but the PSR-600 wouldn't.
No Digital today (Sunday Morning) just analog ID'S showing on CC 856.1125
Yeah, the last couple of days have just been Login messages and the CWID TG.
Seeing ID activity today, for Gilcrease, Mingo Valley and Riverside.
If someone can come up with money to upgrade the site controllers to the current model, sure.
Norman's currently speccing out new equipment for Site 40 from their Public Safety Slush Fund. I'm sure it will be Phase 2 (since that's the current hardware/software). I have not read the RFP that has been floating around so I don't know if they plan to stay connected to OKWIN or not. Tulsa obviously has an independent source of taxpayer money to update their site(s) as well since they are doing it. Dunno about Edmond or Shawnee.
The state has a buck 3.80 to spend so I don't see them rushing to replace equipment that is currently functioning correctly.

I have been leafing thru Norman's radio proposals and It suggests they want a P25 type 1 and 2 system with keeping some of the legacy analog. That might keep them in OKWIN with some analog capability for OHP and others.Seems they decided to go for more that two sites also. Time will tell.
Welcome to the Fold TFD Main Dispatch !D 2241.
My BC780XLT works on OKWIN Site 40 analog talkgroups just fine even though the site was rebanded some time ago. I am lucky - the only talkgroups that ever seem to get assigned to the rebanded transmitters are ones carrying P25 audio.
If you have an older P25 scanner (one that doesn't do actual P25 trunked systems), you can still listen until such time as your local site is upgraded to a true P25 site (9600-baud control channel).
If you have a newer P25 scanner (that does do 9600-baud CCs) you can still listen until such time as your local site is upgraded to support Phase 2 (TDMA).
If you have a current P25 scanner, you can listen to all of it right up until the point that the Powers That Be decide you are no longer allowed to listen to your public servants at work and order that encryption be enabled. Then it doesn't matter what radio you have.
IOW, don't sweat it until the channels you listen to actually disappear.
Should have said "current digital scanner" since the current Bearcats will do ProVoice now and DMR next week(?) and the current Whistlers will do DMR next month(?) and NXDN "sometime" ...
ID testing today, 2035.
Its interesting to see how they divided KNJH431 City of Tulsa site to half P25 Phase 2 and half analog mixed mode P25 Phase 1. I wonder if it's just going to be TPD, TFD, that will be the exclusive users for the new Phase 2 site? I also see that they are tied in with the Phase 1 sites down in Muskogee etc. We will just have to see how this all plays out. I know several agencies were issued new radios that can do multiple bands including VHF, UHF, 800 analog, phase 1 and 2 etc. for TAEMA and NWS Tulsa are using them.
Seeing some new ID's, 2273 I believe and it sounds like Tulsa Transit. Also I don't know if my PSR-600 is having trouble with TPD Gilcrease or they went Encrypted or Phase 2. Also seeing 2241 ID showing up.

Multiply 2273 x 16 and you will see it is 36368 (decimal) on the analog system. It's not a new ID.
All the P25 IDs should be like that unless they changed talkgroup ID assignments.
I've had a few hits yesterday for Gilcrease. So far no P2 or encrypted talkgroups that I have seen.
