Memphis Light Gas Water moving to P25?

[wbloss]

Heard elec and gas operations on 860.3875 P25 NAC 3D5. hile in Memphis today. Addresses in Memphis Metro area
Same freq as the old M36 Memphis Util system, which still has an M36 Control channel going on 858.3875.
Very likely same users, as some of the TGs and usages are the same numbers in the new P25 system as in the M36: eg 3472, 464, etc. (which seems a bit odd, actually)
Not found control channel now SYSid, but the site NAC 3D5 will likely be "related" to the sysid

MLG&W has operated P25 digital on the old BB3D Type II system for a while, which is what you're hearing. They've begun slowly transitioning off it however to a Tier III DMR system. So far though the only users on the DMR system are MLG&W Security, and a couple very specific operations. Main operations are still on the Type II system with P25 voice for now.

Do I remember correctly that the new system MLGW will use will be encrypted full time?

There needs to be a listing for the P25 system

Correct, that's what was stated.

There is no P25 system. Again, it's the Type II system using P25 voice, which is already listed in the DB.
