I think the septa channel patch on there was taking out of service too

On the Philadelphia City Trunked system T-Band is very active daily. Just heard it today. But it may not always be patched to the DRPA system depending on what incidents are going on in the city at any given time. Also just a heads up there is a repeater for the PATCO system very near to the Lindenwold station, likely in the area of the rail yard off of Carlton Street. I get it no problem with no antenna on an SDS100 from the parking lot of Lindenwold Patco and the Timothy Hortons but with antenna on signal starts to break up once I hit Rt 30 and Gibbsboro Road and down through Clementon. So i think these transmitters are very weak.

HIstorically, T Band has been very busy, yes. Recently, not so much. The only calls I saw today were from this morning and were a few field units hailing other users on the channel with no response. Highway units are communicating with dispatch on M Band now. T Band has been almost dead all week. Anyway, we are verring away from the thread, so I suppose we should set up a new thread if there is more to discuss about T Band on the Philly system.
T band console has not had a dispatcher assigned as of a few weeks. Traffic units and a few others were reassigned to M band for dispatching and routine operations. You are hearing the M band console dispatcher who is patched into the talk group.
anyidea if there will ever use septa channel patch again
I can confirm PPD T-band is active on native Philly P25 system & DRPA patch (TGID-41)

I believe septa is getting a stand alone 7/8 P25 system that will have patch capabilities to the city system.
What do you mean by that or they have their own system? If so, will it be non-encrypted

From what i heard any septa ops that are on the 500mhz system including septa pd will be going to a 7/8 P25 standalone system. I assume septa pd (500mhz) and J band will depreciate and it will have a direct patch or a direct talkgroup to the city system. Unknown what the timeline is for that though.
700/800 P25

Where did you hear about Septa getting a new system? I talked to a good friend who works in Communications for Septa and who wasn’t aware of a new system.

They are licensed for several 700 MHz frequencies. Maybe that’s what he is referring to..

20 some 700 mhz frequencies.
Do a google search for their past budgets. Tons of money was put aside for their new system.

From my understanding, the system is still being built and is not in place yet.
Correction to above URL here...
Non-Trunked, Analog Emmisions. FWIW
Emissions are actually P25, NAC 293 despite what the license says
