IBM Poughkeepsie EDACS

Just wondering if this system is still used and if anyone has heard anything on it? Its Control Channel is still transmitting on 855.0625 (LCN 3), have been running UT but haven't seen any activity other then the control channel.

I know that Emergency Control/Security had definitely moved to DMR on the old UHF channel, 462.3250.

I had always thought that Facilities/Maintenance stayed on the 800 MHz EDACS. They are definitely not on 462.3250 DMR. They may be on a different DMR frequency.

I was thinking that as well, but under their KEC5542 license it shows they also have 462.425. I haven't listed to that frequency so I'm not sure if it is used.

The license for 855.0625 (WPMD436) is due to expire in June.

I'll leave UT on it for the day and see if its active at all.

Any chance they moved some of their operations onto the frequencies on their WNUC885 license? They are all licensed for low power use, so I can't tell for sure.
