From a spectrum effeicency standpoint, I couldn't agree more, P25 Phase 2 is certainly the way to go! Looks like I'll need to start saving some penny's and go ahead and make a long range plan to replace my current Phase 1 fleet!!!
Now to figure out what the VHF-Hi band P25 plan is!!!! Backup?, Comm Center point to point?, Federal Interop???
Staying tuned for futher!!!
TG 51551 was busy this morning on the Guilford county sites. References were made to "EOC".
There is no VHF currently on the VIPER, it is 700/800.
I heard Davie County Fire Dispatch on their VIPER Talkgroup. I believe It was a simulcast of their VHF channel. I'm not sure how long they have been using the VIPER TG, but this was the first time I have heard it in use.

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I just updated the 436HP and noticed the Southern Pines CC info is not updated to reflect the 700 MHz CC listed in the database. I think these were changed back in January and are correctly listed in the RR Database.
This morning, I was monitoring VIPER off the Franklin Water Tower site, which I can see about 1/2 mile from my house, and discovered a three-way conversation on TG 52055. Base on the subject being discussed, which I won't disclose, I'm 99% certain this is a State Fire Marshal TG. The TG number is in sequence with their identified TGs.
