Your question:
"Is this site online yet"

My answer
"Yes"

Your second question
"or were the frequencies submitted based on license data?"

My answer:
"No."

SVRCS West Cell Failure? I'm hearing the Central cell carrying all traffic as of typing. SCFD SCPD and SVDPS were having trouble getting out and had to reset their radios. Motorola's encrypted tech talkgroup has been buzzing.

Update: Hearing traffic of some sort of "cutover" Perhaps this is the Santa Clara simulcast being moved to the new shelter? Very strange behavior

Update as of 8am. Sunnyvale is operating on Baymacs. Santa Clara seems to be using their old Type II system although I cannot confirm the latter.

Does anyone have info on which agencies, if any will be going crypto?

I'm deciding if I want to upgrade to Phase 2 equipment.

What did you hear this time? Did the westcell agencies fail onto the central cell again?

I don't monitor the central cell, so I don't know if it crashed as well. Sunnyvale PD switched to Baymacs and then to South Bay Law 1 (TG 35706) when the west cell came back online. They returned to their assigned TG around 10:10 am.

Sunnyvale FD switched to White 1 and then to South Bay Fire 1 (TG 35714) when the west cell came back online. They returned to their assigned TG around 10:08 am.

SVRIA has a pending application for the Mt Chual ASR site using: 771.25625, 772.53125, 773.45625, 773.73125 (see ULS Application - Trunked Public Safety 700 MHz - 0007759330 - SANTA CLARA, COUNTY OF (SVRIA))

SVRIA also has a pending application for the Pacheco Peak ASR site using: 772.00625, 772.23125, 772.75625, 773.65625 (see: ULS Application - Trunked Public Safety 700 MHz - 0007759332 - SANTA CLARA, COUNTY OF (SVRIA))

According to my notes there are now 11 frequencies left unassigned in the Santa Clara County pool of the Region 6 700 MHz Spectrum Plan.

Both the West and Central cells are now announcing the South cell as a peer with control channel 771.70625. Not picking up control channel traffic on this frequency in northern Santa Clara County. Maybe someone with better coverage of south county can hear something on 771.70625?
