It looks like the Arvada/Westminster EDACS system may have a new site coming online at some point. A modification was made to their system license WNYK448 back in December that adds four new 800 MHz frequencies to the site that Arvada FD's UHF repeaters used to be at, so I'd expect coverage to be similar to what Arvada FD had on 453.15 and 453.55. The current EDACS system has a voter receiver at that site now, and the CLEER radio for Arvada and Westminster is also there.
The new frequencies are:
854.6625
854.7375
856.0375
856.0875
I'm not hearing anything on these frequencies at this time.
Since it's only four channels, my guess is this new site may only carry Arvada PD and FD traffic. I'd imagine that even if they allowed RED NW, BLUE NW, or METRO NET on that site, they'd experience a lot more busys than they're currently used to.
It's interesting that the first two channels are only 75 kHz apart, and the last two are only 50 kHz! Guess they'll have to use a hybrid transmit combiner or something...
