Boulder County Law no longer full time VHF

[scanlist]

Any way you look at the situation coverage has been impacted since day one of the changeover.

Sites that rarely carried BC groups now are a constant.

There have been issues with the trial and some on-air comments about it from the field so far.

Cutting down long established working coverage in the county so the city could toss their system in the recycle bin. Brilliant!

If they pull the plug on VHF and join the club so be it.

I'm reminded of an 80's Thomas Dolby song in all of this.

If the intent was better coverage in the county it appears to have had the opposite effect.

It was not the intent. Care was taken to not reduce countywide DTRS coverage, but a simulcast needs to be calibrated in such a way that lower power than a single site is to be expected.

EDIT: Plus, the new simulcast has adjacent site coverage, as abqscan pointed out. From a scanner perspective, I would think TGs being available on more sites would be a welcomed change.
