Now that those all-important questions are answered, this just in:
5330 - Fort Lauderdale Police 2N, used for special ops, surveillance

Ok, so here is some updates with Boynton Beach's new P25 system:
Phase II
System ID: 598
RFSS: 1
Site: 9
WACN: BEE00
Control Channel: 856.8125
Alt Controls: 857.2875, 858.2875, 859.2875
Radio IDs are in the 73519xx for FIRE and 73521xx for PD.
Good news: It looks like they are using the same HEX for the TGID...so keep your eyes open and compare it to their old system 813A HEX and hopefully they will line up. They are also running FDMA for now.
1E5 / DEC 445 FIRE MAIN
1BD / DEC 445 PD MAIN
Now the bad news....PD is running ENCRYPTED....not 100% of the units (yet) but the console is.
I'm also going to bet that this is going to be the same system ID for the County since they are using the same core so it should probably be entered in the DB as such.
The core is actually owned by Motorola Solutions. Broward, Coral Springs, Ft. Lauderdale, Hollywood, & Plantation all lease ports off of it.

The Hosted Maser Site agreement was executed in December 2011. Equipment was staged and tested in Motorola’s Headquarters in June 2012. The cutover to Motorola’s Hosted Master Site began on January 9, 2013,
So basically they are sharing the same towers and such as everyone else on the System, just the frequencies are different? Plantation and Coral Springs and Fort Lauderdale are miles apart, but you should be able to hear them anywhere in the county because they share the same towers being on the same System ID? I'm just trying to understand, for my own knowledge, the demographics of multiple agencies sharing a single System ID. Thanks sir!
