Just to add some updates from listening every day (And at this very moment)

MTX 17 is rebroadcasting digital over analog. There are no longer any MDC tones and you can hear the digital in the TX.
I just recently saw techs working their way up the IRT line from the city into the Bronx working on presumably radio equipment because as i was waiting for the train, they were performing random radio checks.

Where i live in Alphabet city, The 1/5/7 is still clear with MDC.
6/9 Still Analog with MDC
10/13 Analog with MDC

The 25/28/32 sounds like they are operating in Mixed mode.

I am unsure if any of this info helps, But if there are any questions, please feel free to ask away.
Is this a priority (one) message? :p

Might have missed this but is the traffic frequency still open for highway patrol? I see it's not e/E on the frequency page, just want to make sure as I want to get another scanner to listen to that frequency specifically. Thanks.

470.8125?

RRDB info should be current at this time but no guarantee about future plans.

Well this usually means that MTX17 will be gone shortly.
Has anyone noticed activity on PB MN S 1, 2 or 3? No one has submitted the NAC for those channels and the switch to them would be the first step for any MN South Precincts going P25. The same for the PB MN N channels for the MN North precincts but we do have NACs for 2 of them.
