OHP radio shop testing, testing, testing and still testing

[n5bew1]

I have been hearing unusual radio low band testing from OHP's radioshop over the last ten days or so. The radio shop transmits some touch tones then a lady computer voice says 01,02, or 03 which corresponds to low band channel 1, 2 or 3. Then the tech calls the main dispatcher for a "how is my signal report" via a radio. Then in a few minutes I hear boop boop boop then the lady computer voice says 02. Then I hear the radio shop coming though the pink relay asking signal 11? Dispatch says 10-2.This goes on several times a day. Maybe they are programming a lot of new low band radios??? The dispatchers kind of just take it with an all in a days work attitude

OHP was working on the UHF relays out here last week, maybe doing a system wide update of some kind?

Yes could be working on replacing lots of old low band relay radios.

They could be narrowbanding the VHF/UHF relays.

UHF is narrowbanded by nature. FYI

There a lots of OHP units at a former car dealership on the southwest corner of I-35 and I-240. Maybe the radio shop is moving to that location and they are testing their set-up there.

What exactly do you mean? Unless your licensed emission designator calls for narroband on UHF you can, again, IF it's on your license, run wideband.
