I tried that and got "no results found".
Are we sure they're talking about an MPSCS simulcast cell? The 6/25/21 minutes only referenced the VHF radio upgrade project, and nothing about 800 Mhz or MPSCS. Could they be building a VHF simulcast system?

I've got to believe I have something programmed wrong. I have gone from a lack of traffic, to absolutely nothing on MPSCS. I can hear analog channels just fine, but zero, nada, nothing, from MPSCS. I'm thinking I am going to start fresh and build a whole new scanlist from the ground up. The WS1065 has been a decent radio, and I can't justify dropping the huge coin required for the SDS200, or similar. I mainly want to listen to MSP, since I live in Oakland County and just about everyone around me is on OpenSky.
Try scanning the metro post TGs on the Holly site.

Control channel goes "brrrrr"
I believe there is some confusion here. The project listed below is a VHF Analog simulcast system, similar to other systems in Calhoun, Kalamazoo and Jackson county (before Jackson's 100% conversion to MPSCS)
To the best of my knowledge, Van Buren is not pursuing an MPSCS simulcast cell.

@drdispatch @dispatchgeek @Thunderbolt
After looking further I believe I was incorrect. In my mind I had linked the uptick of MPSCS activity in Berrien County with this announcement for Van Buren County.

With all the P25 simulcast cells popping up around Van Buren, it would be an easy mistake. Happens to the best of us.
Might need someone to confirm this, but I believe Kalkaska County has gone fully to the MPSCS. I can't hear any VHF traffic anymore and eDispatches is only showing their calls during the night, leading me to believe they're either only utilizing VHF at night or eDispatches is being stupid.

I've been getting some dispatches from kalkaskastan on mpscs at night here in the lewiston area but not enough to say i'm getting all. Any idea what traverse city uses?
Traverse city is 100% on MPSCS, one backup channel remains repeated from one site.

Thank you much i haven't much luck with anyone from UPNORTH yet. Thinking of paying to be a Premium member an hope TG download would help. Sentinel isn't much help learning Digital! Again thanks
Wexford, Leelanau, Benzie, Missaukee, Kalkaska, Antrim, and all of the CCE Departments do most or all of their dispatching on MPSCS for both PD and Fire. A few VHF patches or channels are still used in Antrim, Kalkaska, Missaukee, and Benzie.
More channels, lots more channels....

from lewiston area been picking up pages for Missaukee Co. this afternoon! nice reach out there.
Heard most of them on the VHF Channel as well, or as well as I can receive it from home. Sounds like they're patching the channel right now.
Did the Croton Site Disappear from the Data Base?
