Awesome thanks, that's what I thought. I was only told by one person so I wanted to double check.
I'll be taking the Lancaster Fire/EMS Feed down for a few hours tomorrow night to do some maintenance and then that should be it.

Sounds good. I for one will be utilizing the feed at work.

Do you think the audio is ok as it is? Or turn it up on the scanner a few?
Just looking for a second opinion.

I'll listen some more and let you know.

Thanks. I think it's ok. Sometimes it's just people need to speak up because even with an actual radio sometimes it's hard to hear them.

Already done. I just need to figure out the appropriate place on here to put it.

So for a good chunk of the day I had an actual radio to compare some of the stuff to my feed. Some radios sound terrible even with listening with a radio...Soooo not sure what that is about.
I adjusted the audio on the feed a bit to help it out so it doesn't sound washed out.

During my time here in Lancaster I have been doing some searching...
I located what sounds like an analog simulcast of one of the PD talkgroups on 464.8750 D754. Audio sounds like P25 ported over to analog. I saw in the database this is listed as Heart of Lancaster but with a 114.8 PL.

The LCWC Alphanumeric CAPCODE listing is up. Broken down by agency type.

THANK YOU!
It has been said that P25 swichover was/is taking place today. Can anyone confirm this? And if that's the case, what time did they announce it?

The switch over took place at 0800 this morning. It was announced via email through the County Chief Association about 2 weeks ago.
Okay Thank You Sir!

They also announced it on every low band channel too at 0800. Had to switch radios in the middle of it haha.
One thing I am noticing is some radios do indeed sound horrible. I thought maybe my 996xt for the feed was alittle odd. But county sounds crystal clear while some users sound too loud and distorted. So I sat with a radio for awhile and compared and those same people sounded distorted with an actual radio too.

I have noticed that as well.
- Could it be the type and make of radio or site that is attributing to the distortion?
- Tait vs. Relm vs. Motorola?
- Portable vs. mobile?
- Central vs. NW vs. NE vs. South?

I know what you mean. I had a radio earlier and a medic in the city sounded distorted and county had to ask them to repeat. Then on the feed they sounded loud and distorted. Not sure what radio they were using but I assume they were connecting to the central tower.
Haha!Yeah I've noticed that too! Not dissing your feed in any way because I've heard worse! But when some units talk, I hear a buzzing distortion on some transmissions, usually near the end. Is that a actual radio issue as well?
