WTF is going on with Southington???

Perhaps preventative maintenance being done.

Southington is upgrading from a single main transmit to a Simulcast setup to improve coverage /reception. Some PD channels have been cut over and tested, the remaining PD and FD channels will be cut over soon.

Okay, now this makes more sense.

Any chance you have an article or documents about this? Want to see what there full plan is

looking at the FCC website for their assigned call sign KCA347, it appears that 2 new sites have been added...70 Village Gate Drive and 104 Robert Porter Road.

So how does this work, because I was hearing digital noise on Southington Detectives on my Pro96, are they going simulcast p2? are they using that channel as the cc?

It looks like they are setting up for simulcast...P2 is only trunking and the license does not show trunking

I would bet that perhaps the detective radio transmissions were possibly encrypted. Just a guess.

It looks like they raised the antenna and dropped the ERP on the Mill St. site from 250 watts to 175 watts when they added the other 2 sites. Lazy Lane site (at the PD) remains unchanged. These changes affect both the regular dispatch (155.25) and detectives (151.175).
