Yes, they are to go with AWIN from what I hear.

Look for this to be the new site for Fort Smith:

854.0375

856.1625

856.6625

857.1625

That isn't confirmed but I think that is what is listed in the FCC database. That may not be all of the frequencies either, but it is a start.

As is Pine Bluff. Word has it that Pine Bluff will make the switch tomorrow.

I think the VHF-High channel will still be there. Mainly for pagers. They might (and I am not certain on this) use the AWIN to talk en-route and on scene. Some use the Pine Bluff System this way. They are paged on VHF-High and then get on the Pine Bluff System after the page.

Voters also approved replacing the Fire and Police departments ’ 25-year-old communication system that officials said is outmoded and inadequate. The replacement, plus bond costs, is expected to cost $ 13. 75 million.

With all 30 precincts reporting, the unofficial results were: For........................ 6, 283 Against.................... 3, 502
