471.3125 is a simulcast of the Cambridge FD Ch.1 TG. It's listed as analog in the DB though the system it's simulcast off of is P25 Phase II.

I picked it up as analog a few minutes ago as well.

just heard .. over the air ... Cambridge FD do 8am station ID on 471.3125 with PL of 146.2

will have to recharge my little yellow radio and see if it is still hearing P25 on the channel ... it is possible that it was getting swamped by Arlington PD

==========

speaking of Arlington PD ... there is roof work underway at the bld next to Arlington PD ... maybe they have shut down their transmitter tower at Arlington PD for this roof work ... maybe Arlington PD will sound different / weaker to some listeners right now

today ... on the little yellow radio ... on 471.3125 ... hearing CFD on analog and hearing some digital ... with a little more testing might be able to confirm that the digital is coming from arlington on 471.1625

==========

can confirm ... the little yellow radio was hearing the digital traffic on 471.1625 ... I must have caught CFD when they had 3 hours without a run

sorry for the confusion
