If they are swapping channels at Phoenix Comm Center, they are likely down dispatch personnel. A check of DPS job openings shows that they are looking for employees for Phoenix as of today.
Talked to the Radio Shop today after noticing the same thing. The STL is down from damage and they just have not gotten to it yet. There are 2 dispatchers on East for now who sit next to each other to coordinate. For a while they were simulcasting on South and East when the load was light. No ETA to South restoral.
If that is actually the case, how come we don't hear any 1800 units. Everything is 1300 now?

I've heard the 1800 units, and I've also noticed two dispatchers on East at the same time.
Update. Not gonna be up anytime soon. They’re replacing everything over the next 8 years.
South Loop Microwave Radio Replacement ($2,000,000)
Microwave radios are the backbone of our communications network and interconnect dispatch consoles, the master site, and all the individual mountain top communications sites across the state. The importance of our backhaul system is critical because, without this equipment, the Troopers that rely on their radios would not be able to reach dispatch.
The South Loop microwave radio equipment was installed between 2006 and 2010 with an expected life span of 8 to 10 years. We have exhausted its useable lifespan and, as a result, are seeing the inevitable increase in system failures.
This project would replace the existing, obsolete microwave radios with new, reliable radios that will keep the system running for another 8 to 10 years before needing to be replaced and upgraded to the latest generation of technology
