From a brief listen this weekend, it appears that the "Harvard Sentences" on the new freqs have stopped and there's now traffic.
I am hearing dispatch traffic on the new D2, D3 and D4 channels. Blue-1 appears to be patched to D2 - I heard Avalon traffic on the channel today. I would have thought the Avalon traffic would be on D5. Similarly, Countywide dispatch Blue-8 is patched to D3 & D4.
Also, C44, C45, and C11 have dispatch traffic.
Just a guess on my part, but I am thinking the radio techs are still testing and they want to hear how real traffic sounds thru the system, so maybe that's why the seemingly random patches ?
Anyone know of a "go live" date for this system ? With so many radios involved, including those of outside agencies, I wouldn't think it would be done during wildfire season (admittedly, is all year now).
