I have been listening the past 5 days straight (including now) & all P25 digital, no more analog.
Ch1 159.210 Rptr NAC $023 (clear)
Ch2 158.955 Rptr NAC $086 (99.9% quiet due to encrypted, but heard an officer last night calling in who probably didn't know he was Not encrypted when he talked). Only traffic I hear is the non-encrypted individuals.
Their FCC license shows Ch1 transmits from summit of Mt Tom & Soldier's Home, and Ch2 from City Hall/Bell Tower. Ch1 booms into Worc Cnty full scale, and Ch2 receive excellent, but not full signal on scanner signal meter.
Someone here said Holyoke is using Kenwood NX-5200 VHF portables, and I'm guessing Kenwood NX-5700 VHF mobiles. I looked at the specs on Kenwood's website, awesome radios that one radio covers P25, DMR (i.e. MotoTRBO), NexEdge & analog. So they can simply change down or up a channel and be on the opposite digital format to instantly talk to the opposite department. Unsure why one chose P25 & the other chose DMR/MotoTRBO, why not choose the same?
