OKC Santa Fe Dispatch in analog

[dstew67]

Santa Fe dispatcher is transmitting in analog right now. Every other unit I'm hearing is in digital.

Yesterday, there was a "clicking" sound that was in analog as well.

I wonder what sort of problem is causing this...

Actually, I shouldn't assume the two events are connected. I wonder what caused both, and if they are connected...

That didn't last very long...new dispatcher, and she's in digitalm but there is a fair amount of white noise behind her

 

[dstew67]

We're back to the male dispatcher and he's back in analog...I'm guessing a station has an issue...

Sounds as if the female dispatcher is back for now, and we're back in digital.

SantaFe Analog

I spent three days in OKC in October and heard SantaFe Dispatch in analog the whole time.

I spent three days in OKC in October and heard SantaFe Dispatch in analog the whole time.

I'm sure Dave is talking about analog (instead of digital) on the 800 MHz EDACS system. They have always been analog on the VHF links - but those could go away.

...or were you hearing Santa Fe (TGID 275 or 02-023) on 800 MHz in analog in October?

Analog-Digital

Yes, I meant the old analog system, I didn't make the point that it was the only frequency in the old system I was hearing. I usually hear all of them.
