Interesting today when in Roanoke listening to the newly expanded area P25 system I was picking up P25P2 traffic on the Franklin Sheriff 420 TG. The 420 TG sounded like dispatch vs a tac as they were giving out calls. Traffic was still coming across their VHF P25 channels for both fire and SO as well. Didn't seem to be simulcast either but didn't get to monitor too closely both of them at same time.
All traffic on it was P2.
It was the only TG with P2 traffic on it that I heard and all of the Roanoke channels were still P1. Wasn't able to sit and listen too much though.
This was off the Franklin site of the system. UIDs were seven digits as well.
Makes me wonder if this is going to be happening to the whole system or is it just the Franklin site and their stuff.
Sounded fantastic on my 436. Nice, loud and clear both slots. Was picking this up all around Roanoke. From 581 exit 6 and hospital area to down on Brandon road out to Orange ave about 5 miles from 581 up to the Troutville area although by then it was mostly off the Roanoke site but the Franklin was still registering as being received.
Picked up the Ham DMR channels in the area really well and the two Danville fire/rescue dispatch DMR channels were booming in so loud it was like I was next to the tower or something.
