Maybe this is related to the 700Mhz overlay that is being installed?

Arlington is a separate site on FWRRS, as are the NETCO cities (Northeast Tarrant). There will be different talk groups for the new P25 Phase II system.

I see that Fire talkgroups have been added to the database. As already noted elsewhere, Arlington PD is using encryption, and so their normal operations will not be monitorable.
