I don't understand this

ok so Maricopa county sheriff department went RWC digital but why is it still on motorola2 talk groups?
and If those frequencies are dead than why can't they put a new service in place
why can't they do some thing like that
or at least make a phoenix police dept bi frequencies RWC/ Motorola2
the best of both worlds in both service.
I think it be great idea

Maricopa County sheriff is not on the RWC. They are on the Maricopa County trunked system.

You might be confusing the Sheriff's department with Maricopa (city) police. The City of Maricopa that is located in Pinal County is on the RWC.

I haven't heard Maricopa county sheriff office on that talk group on motorola2
just the others county services are you sure their not on digital broadcast?

The Maricopa County Trunked system is a Motorola Type II mixed mode system. There are both digital and analog talkgroups on this system. When you look at the DB, anything with a "D" in the mode column is digital. All of the MCSO primary dispatch talkgroups are digital. You will need a digital scanner to listen to MCSO. They do have a few analog talkgroups that are active during events, but most everything else for MCSO is digital.
