This was DCSO SWAT going after a shooting suspect. The incident was in Highlands Ranch over the weekend.

I hear that they did an upgrade on Network First about a year ago to handle the poor audio - has it sounded like crap more recently?

Yes. I noticed during this incident that the patch sounded good on some systems (possibly the originating systems) and really bad on some other systems. I didn't write down which were the bad ones, but I remember one system in particular had very low, hollow sounding audio that was difficult to understand in a quiet environment.

The next time I hear a lengthy patch similar to this I want to listen on 5 or 6 radios simultaneously and log which systems or sites sound bad. Perhaps others can do the same and we can compare notes here.

Yes, that would be interesting. I wonder if there's a difference among the different talk groups too...

I was monitoring the DPD EDACS side and Blue SE Patch (on the West Metro feed) and the patch audio sounded great in both those locations.

The audio sounds a lot better lately vs the past when they do patch the DTRS to any of the EDACS systems. They don't sound like their under water anymore!

I think the key is to find DTR-to-EDACS conversations and see how they sound. DTRS-to-DTRS or EDACS-to-EDACS should (!) sound fine.

These were DTRS (DCSO) to EDACS (DPD) conversations I was listening too.
