I don't know if this means anything as far as system progress goes, but up until today, I have not needed to lockout any control channels on either the city or county systems. I have a BC245 and no matter what seemed to be going on with the testing, I kept getting all the talkgroups and traffic, just like always, like the good ol' BC245 would only lock onto the "correct" control channels.
But today, I was noticing some very long periods of silence on both systems, and thanks to using the BC245Int program, I was able to see what CCs my scanner was using. Today, for the first time ever, my scanner was using the CCs that have been assigned to the new hybrid system. Once I locked them out, I'm back in business of course, but I thought it was strange that all of the sudden I was locking into the CCs for the new system.
Just an FYI to any other 245 or older scanner users out there like myself who never had to lock out the CCs before now.
