New Boston AFS P25 System

[CqDx]

Hi all,

There is supposedly a new P25 site to be constructed at New Boston AFS in the VHF band with a four months construction period from May 2020. Has anyone caught this system online?

New Boston has been P25 Conventional for years.

Rather interesting to read they want to go "Trunked"

I would spend the time searching 137-144/148-150.8 and 162-174 [if they stay VHF]
altho the Military using Trunk has been the lower portions of the VHF not the 162-174

Happy hunting

Been doing a fair amount of federal searching lately and other than their usual channels, nothing new. I can't always pick up the station from my house, but when I can, so far still conventional. Will definitely keep an ear out.

I'm guessing the connections w/the other bases is behind the trunking. But who knows.

Yes on the connections, generally handled by the "CORE"
Similar to what PNSY has, with the 380 TRS where sometimes we can hear other bases, as the CORE "Switch" is likely hosted at a central location

Looks like construction start date should say May 2021.
