Just heard Plano FD2 dispatch announce a 30-60 second outage tonight on the P25 system.

Anyone know what they're planning on rolling out tonight?

I'm not receiving any PPD/PFD traffic on the PAWM site, however on the PAWMCO site I'm receiving PPD so I'm wondering if they're doing site maintenance of some sort.

I'm just on the edge of where the PAWM sites reach so it could just be a site or two that are closest to me that are out. I'm sure it'll return to normal by tomorrow.

A couple times a year they will bring down a couple sites at a time for updates and due to the overlapping coverage, most of the units would only see a quick blip of the radio going out of range.
