Philly PD/FD switching again?

[newspix83]

Anyone hear about Philly PD/Fd switching to the new 700MHZ system? Anyone hear about a firm time table for this to happen?

No need to adjust your tin foil hats, ladies, Philly is not going anywhere anytime soon.

1) They already moved down to the rebanded frequencies earlier this year

2) They are poised to change the existing system to "phase 2" operation in a few years

3) They aren't moving again.

End of discussion. Moderators, please close this topic and refer any further discussion to the appropriate thread already WELL in progress. Thanks and Happy Festivus!

Yes , the phase 2 system I heard will be 700 MHZ. When I last spoke with the PIO last jan, they said we just switched but don't be too comfortable we are switching again in a year or so. So by phase 2 it will stay the same on 800,just up the cc?
I was also told to expect some TDMA type 2. So again, when is this supposed to happen?

NewsPix,

I've stated once that there is already a thread for discussing the Philadelphia government's radio system (and any changes therein). It is located here:

So I will ask you again, to refer your discussion to that thread.
