Avon are we talking about PD or fire or the whole town Who’s Dept is testing on the system I was told from a source the police department didn’t want no part of this system but that’s only he said she said

I believe Avon's latest plan is to use the State core and take the savings and build a tower near the Huckleberry Hill Transfer Station. They will have all town services on the trunk system.

I see this entry coming up in DSDPlus on the Troop G system:

2021/08/05 06:11:00 Freq=853.750000 NAC=3A0 BEE00.3A9-1.21 neighbor: Site BEE00.3A9-3.1; CC=1-2066 774.91875 ISOLATED

The site is 3A9-3.1 All other sites start with RFSS 1 and this is a 3. It is also isolated.

Any ideas what this site might be?

That's the new West Zone. The site is Bridgeport's new system (not yet in service).

Thanks for that, Chris. Interesting. I wonder if the 3 is temporary. Stamford uses 1 on their system so I wonder if Bridgeport needs to be different.

Stamford is CLMRN Zone 001 Site 002 (New Britain is 001-001). Bridgeport will be Zone 003, Site 001. The State calls it the West Zone but isn't geographically accurate now.
There can be 255 Zones each with 255 sites. WACN (BEE00), System ID (3A9), RFSS (001 or 003), and Site ID (varies)

Troop L has joined the West Zone with a Site ID of 3.15
Old Troop L Site 1.31 shows inactive.
Same Frequencies, NAC, etc just part of the West Zone now.

Thank You Chris for this update ( and Mike for the DB update ). I updated my G5 and L is now back. I'm thinking about programming wildcards ( all F's ) for all of the site ID's and RFSS ID's ect...

I did notice that since these changes, LCD Dispatch (TG 8701) no longer comes out simulcast over Troop L Simulcast sites. Perhaps the radios have not yet been reprogrammed to reflect the changes.

My understanding is that it is to ensure the system is able to quickly and automatically recover from a major failure. If West fails, East takes over and vise versa. They will use this feature:

Dynamic System Resilience (DSR)
DSR ensures the radio system is seamlessly switched to a backup master site dynamically in case of
system failure. DSR also provides additional indication such as failure detection, fault recovery, and
redundancy within the system to address to the user in need. Mechanisms related to the Integrated
Voice and Data (IV&D) or data centric are all supported by DSR.

looks like the LCD situation has been rectified this morning.
