11513 has gone live with police! I did a spot check this evening and it is active for the first time with PD dispatch and records checks...North Springs platform was mentioned so it is probably N/S PD Dispatch....could someone see if PD are still broadcasting on the old system or if this is a simulcast (I don't have one of those old radios) or if this is now exclusive traffic on the P25 Phase II system? I have not seen a E/W PD channel yet but if memory serves all the PD switches to just one channel in the evening. I don't know if this is temporary or permanent...but this is the most traffic I've ever heard on a daily basis on the new one that wasn't radio checks/testing.

Im seeing 11513 also broadcasting, Police N/S is also active on the old system I assume theyre doing a duplicate broadcasting on both in case of failure/backup/old equipment.

It seems that all the talker alias's are "EXTERNAL" meaning that rather than PD using the new system. The new system is broadcasting the old systems calls.
