Site 05 is on the air, however it does not show as a peer on Site 6.

I suspect Site 05 days are now numbered.
The two cells were never made peers of each other because they do not want multi-band subscribers automatically roaming between cells yet. The cutover to the 700 cell has been slow and deliberate, targeting areas where the T-Band cell has less robust coverage. It'll be a while until the T-Band cell goes away completely.

POLICE D6 and POLICE D8 alive today.
As well as MIRS 700. Still utilizing both the MIRS 400 and MIRS 700 channels as the base station radios at the local dispatch centers have not been installed as of late. 2 more PD channels will be switching to the 700 cell tomorrow. @GTR8000 is the MIRS 400/700 being patched?

1 channel will be moving tomorrow, and the next will be on Friday. Next week presumably Monday Police 7 will be moving to Police County.

Any idea when I can take the old system out of my scanner and only have the 700 system. Are they completely transitioned over.

tried to update my SDS200 on the 700. Can't get the 700 simulcast to migrate over to my favorite list on Sentinel. Has anyone had a problem with this?

No issues on this end. Update the DB, and create a new FL

System seems to be more trbl to get than the old UHF one was and that was not easy either. At least this SDS200 I am using shows low signal, I will put it in my other one as well, for some reason the levels tend to seem lower on some systems on one SDS200 than the other...

Nope. Still some PD using UHF. And pretty much all of FIRE and EMS except one talkgroup for each on 700. Patience young jedi.
All PD channels are operating primarily on the 700 system, with the 700 PD channels being patched back into the 400 system. This includes the "extra" PD Channels PD 9-12. Anybody catch to see if Police 7 switched over today?

Without context on this list, what is the purpose of this? To prove that police 7 has not switched over?
What context do you need for something that's pretty self-evident? It's very clearly showing the voice traffic hit counts on the 700 MHz cell talkgroups since that cell came to life in late 2021. You asked if Police 7 switched over, and as the hit count for that talkgroup shows 0, the answer would be "no". Also, perhaps some might be interested in seeing a visual representation of the activity to date.

I guess some need it spelled out, lol. No, POLICE D7 has not switched over yet.

Now if you ask if any of the FIRE or EMS talkgroups have switched yet other than MC FIRE 5 and MC EMS 5, you're going to get one of my favorite memes.....
