that is a VHF cross patch, and station W does not always have it up, they only use it when there are big incidents, Waterfords system is somewhat outdated and will join the state system at some point

East Lyme Fire remains on VHF, as does East Lyme Police. ELPD is being simulcast on CLMRN, Fire is not. East Lyme Fire's mobiles and portables are not CLMRM capable, and I am hearing them 5x5 in Niantic.

I stand corrected, I heard ELPD just fine on the VHF, They sound better on the state system then the simulcast on the waterford system, Is the idea to keep it as a simulcast or does the town eventually have plans to upgrade radios and such?

The Town will eventually migrate to CLMRN. I believe the police will be on the system well ahead of fire.

Station W switches the East Lyme patch on as needed. Sometimes it is on for days, sometimes it is off for days, but it is a patch between East Lyme VHF and Waterford's P25 Phase I trunking system. East Lyme will be migrating to The State's CLMRN at some point, although that point in time is unknown at this time. East Lyme will not be migrating to the Waterford system, as Waterford and New London will be migrating to CLMRN at some point in time ... again ... what that point in time is, is not known at this time.
