Dose anyone know if MSP have upgraded their system to APCO P25 for all the zones or are they still working on doing this? Any information would be appreciated included P25 frequencies.

Thanks

MSP uses a trunk system and for the most part are only analog. There are a few P-25 talk groups but rarely used.

Most zones in the MSP system have a limited number of P25 capable frequencies. For example the zone 5 system that covers the Boston area has 3 P25 capable frequencies out of 10. P25 seems to get little use at this time other than the radio techs. My understanding is that the Troop B system in Western Mass will be fully P25 capable when the new sites are built out.

I guess I was wondering about the new systems that are mention on that web site.

On a side note, I really hope they don't go completely p25. I had a hard time spending 200.00 on a scanner let alone 500.00 for one.

Which new Systems??

Info comes from ""us"" users, so if you know of, or hear a new system pass it along.

However the MSP has been running fine as is, with only One New Zone added in 2-4 years [and that was on the Cape, and not much activity has been reported on it.]

B-Troop ? Probably a long time off, unless there is a massive infussion of $$$$ to [build the towers, run the lines, infrastructure equip etc]

Well I was mainly thinking of B-Troup area along with C-7 in central Ma.

Nothing new has been Monitored for C-Troop or B-Troop.

B-Troop outside of Springfield/Holyoke is stil using Low-Band with the exception of some area that have Stand-Alone Conventional Repeaters
