General Motors Con+ SYS:395 switching to Tier 3?

[ka3jjz]

We have this functionality- sort of- for the TRSs already built into the wiki. Not every TRS listing article has it, but it's very easy to add a Deprecated section where those Deprecated TRSs are linked. We even have a template text that tells the user that the particular TRS has been deprecated.

Speaking of TRS listings, I have just spent a couple of hours cleaning up - as best I can- the General Motors (USA) article and linking it to each state. I have just finished adding 2 entries for every state's listing - one for MOTOTRBO and one for DMR Tier 3.

As each state's site(s) complete the migration please let me know in the wiki forum and I will drop the MOTOTRBO listing for that particular state. This way the 'migration' from the wiki perspective is relatively painless.

Wondering if Bedford plant is going to that

My guess is they probably will be, likely just a matter of time for GM to get it done.

Connect Plus is no longer being produced by Motorola, and Motorola is actively selling Capacity Max as the replacement for Connect Plus. While there will still be a lot of Connect Plus systems out there, the numbers will not be increasing.

No change at the Oshawa plant in Ontario, currently. Still seeing Con+

Listed as a separate system in Canada because there is no provision in the RRDB to have systems span across countries.

They also cannot get new subscrbers optioned for Connect +. Moto seems to be very actively working to make folks upgrade to Cap Max.

Several systems have resorted to purchasing used radios off eBay and other sources for their Connect + systems.

Just an FYI - a submitter indicated that the Bowling Green Assembly Plant in Warren KY changed from CON+ to TIII. But the submitter provided no further details . As such, if you are reading this thread, are around Warren KY area and have the ability to check into it, please do so.

Thanks

S26-1 was seen on 452.3875 (color 0) near Bowling Green KY recently.

It's highly probable that the Tonawanda Powertrain Plant, located in Buffalo, NY, just switched.

Today, I just noticed that 935.1500, a known GM Con+ frequency for this plant, is transmitting S29-1 and CC0 RAS and using LSNs 224 and 784. I'll monitor it in the coming week(s) and see what I can figure out. I don't see their Con+ system to be on the air, however, it's normally was pretty weak from my location.
