Just got word the switch over to P25 will happen next week for Guilford County (March 26-29). It is my understanding the talkgroups will not change, just upgrading the talkgroups to P25 digital.
Starting March 26th, Forsyth County VFDs that respond with Guilford (except Kernersville) will be assigned a Forsyth County fireground channel for operations in Guilford. This is due to many VFDs not having P25 capable radios (most have the XTS2500 or XTS5000s). The responding Forsyth VFD will have to borrow a Guildford radio or operate on the Forsyth County assigned channel until all radios are upgraded .
