Grayson County is shifting to APCO25
- Thread starter dmurman
- Start date
I haven't heard anything about the County, but Sherman and Denison both have separate APCO25 trunked system projects underway.
Is that what's going on with Denison right now? I have been seeing them break squelch and have heard several conversations in the clear on the FD and PD channels. I also heard part of a conversation with the park Rangers on Lake Texoma over the weekend.
Denison is building out a new 700MHz Motorola Trunked System - they only got their license at the end of May, so I suspect it will be a few more months before we start seeing signs of life on it, followed by a month or more of testing before putting actual users on it (see the following thread where we had previously discussed it). Since they're getting new dispatch consoles as part of it, they likely won't have but a basic patch to the analog frequencies if that when they switch over.

Sherman on the other hand is building out an 800MHz Tait Trunked System, they've had licenses since last August, but there's still no signs of life on the system - and I've been checking for it daily from my base in Van Alstyne (They got the warning from the FCC to this fact and have until the end of August to apply for an extension or bring it online). The most recent thread on it is here:
Sherman is Alive
The new City of Sherman system is coming alive. Caught me off guard, everything so far is unencrypted. Hearing some Fire Dispatching but not sure if its actually Sherman as they're still operating on the VHF as well. Its not simulcast or gateway traffic best I can tell. Also briefly heard Police...
