Radio maintence is doing testing on the system, currently the CC is on lcn one. Using the mutual aid tg. As of now might what to unlock the lcn 1-2. Last night i was listening and heard the second control channel, few hours later they remove it.
With the techs enabling/disabling some of the Logical Channels and the 2nd site controller occasionally being turned on with a second CC Tom is giving everyone a heads up in case their scanner acts weird or acts like it's not doing anything. [Thanks Tom]
With M/A changing Lakewood's system over in the past couple of weeks don't be surprised if Westy suddenly disappears/moves.
The site controller in an EDACS system does not generate the control channel. There are a bunch of other things that can make a second control channel appear, but the site controller is not one of them.
M/A-COM had nothing to do with Lakewood's rebanding. They did all of the work on their own.
I was listening to this, I believe that Arvada/Westy where having radio problems started around 4pm, they had to stop working on at one time due to a suicide attempt in Westy. Even then Arvada dispatch said if they lose comms use the Nextel's. One time heard the tech ask whats a better time to work on the system so they dont interfer with dispatch, reply was around 3 or 4 am. The obnoxious guy was the one whistle in the mike. Actually at one time i thought they did reband lost the control channel for a few minutes, was going to make a comment that Arvada/Westy where gone, but decided to wait alittle.
I think it was just radio problems, since the beginning of my post when LCN was on one and using the LCN 2-6 and LCN 7-10 where quite. And then yesterdays problems. Now CC is on two and all LCN are being used. So far working good this AM.
