THE next Friday (5/22) same report. What happened to the deadline.Another week come and gone. Still no activity on the new P25 Uhf trunked system other than a few radio tech's mid-week. Why?

- Start date
Starting to feel like the old MPT-1327 system. All the control channels making their noise, but nothing else. When the radio techs talk it sounds good (when in the clear).
Well, they have 18 sites they had to set up and a few of them were closed during the winter months. It just taking little longer, but its going to be on line either this year or early next.
"Either this year or early next", did you hear this from someone? True some sites are hard to get to in the winter. But this past winter wasn't all that bad. Also, these are the same sites they already occupy and recently upgraded the Vhf system. So roads are in, electricity is available, towers, equipment shacks and so on. All sites have other users to beside D.C..
Ok, after a little chatting with someone, the switch isn't delayed, they are working on completing the optimization of the VHF system, before cutting over to the new TRS. This is likely because, they will be patching the Law Talk groups to the vhf Law channels. Again a timeline wasn't given, so i would say that its likely happening this year.
Yesterday there was about a dozen transmissions in the afternoon. All but one was "e" and it was from someone identifying themselves as the highest person from a "city" user in the first group of users that will use the new system.

TGID: 10000 is in mode D and not DE as shown in the data base. The most used TGID's so far have been 100 D, 10000 D, 10005 DE and 10007 DE. No traffic heard other than radio techs since Vhf Law 1 was simulcast several month's ago. When techs talk in the clear it sounds very good. Strong and clear.
I keep an eye on the FCC site and never saw this posted as new channels. But I found these two new vhf channels for DC just looking through their many license's. WSNF979 151.2650 and 158.9850 Both listed as mobile, 780 units, 100 watts of power with emissions for both analog and p25. Granted 6/19/26 Same info given for Law 1 and 2 mobile channel's. Wondering if maybe TRS patch channels. I have not heard any traffic on these two new channel's.
Remember DC also has a now well known InterOp base/ mobile channel that has never appeared in FCC record's. You have to look and search.
No new info for the TRS.
