Just tuned back in today and found lots of test calls being made. It's outlined in the RFB

Upon entering each grid, test calls are placed to and from Dispatch teams and Field teams for
each of the tests. The field team test message shall consist of identification of the location being
tested, as well as a short message representative of typical public safety call durations
(approximately 8-15 words from a periodical or magazine.). The test message response from the
dispatch team will consist of 8 – 15 words from a periodical or magazine.
Each successful test point must deliver audio quality of at least DAQ 3.4 both in the inbound and
in the outbound directions. For any given test point, both the inbound and outbound call must
pass for the test point to pass. A failure in either the inbound or outbound direction will constitute
a failed test call, subject to a test retry.
Each City submitted a list of "random buildings". This consists mostly of schools and other public buildings. Imagine Paul from Verizon (back in the good ole days) going to each room and keying up, "Can you hear me now?" They are in Mesquite today.
I do hear one regular user that appears to be using this new system as their primary communications. Sounds like the Mesquite Utility Department. Calls for shutting off water. Talk group 2118. Unit call signs are in the 200's such as 246.
