[jlinko]

Looks like Denver Public Schools has added two mountaintop conventional 800 repeaters, along with a repeater at a DFD station near Stapleton.

AFAIK that is a cancellation of that license (WNZG276)
They are currently on some dedicated talkgroups on the Public Safety EDACS system, and they can talk directly to DPD dispatchers if the need arises.

The DPS 800 channels never did work very good. I am pretty sure those freqs were given up and they will be showing up as part of another entities' trunked system.

DPS is planning on using their conventional UHF frequencies for a new LTR trunked system at some point since they have to move off Lookout where they shared the tower with KRMA ans KCFR. Also most of the field radios are capable of being trunked. The only use of the UHF channels now is transportation (and) splinter channels for around school use. Maintenance and all the suits all have Nexthells--
