Custer-Gallatin NF P25 ?

Wondering if anyone has caught a move to P25 for this National Forest.

Found a document that indicated Bozeman Dispatch was P25 for "West Zone"
on 169.9250 and 171.5500

Thoughts/comments ??

Yes it sounds like they are now only using P25. Their repeaters are mixed mode (analog and P25) so may still hear analog. But during the Foothills fire this caused confusing because people were unable to talk to each other. I'm surprised they would go all P25.

Yes I'm just wondering if it's just areas that have the system. Beaverhead/Deer Lodge National Forest still analog.

How much traffic is on those those systems?

Any capture the NAC on the outputs ?
Want to validate the info before posting or adding to the Wiki from what I see they program for P25 CSQ using $F7E but I would think
our scanners would see a NAC besides $F7E
