Looks like there is a chunk of Simsbury radio ID's registered on the Bloomfield talkgroup

Hi Adam--So do you think Simsbury will eventually go to CLMRN?
SPD P25 in service using NAC128.
They were patched to Simsbury Command for a while as cars rotated through getting reprogrammed.

Is the fire department or ambulance upgraded like Rocky Hill Went to all digital
They upgraded their systems but stayed analog.

I can only give an uneducated guess...but I would say that it's a definite possibility as there was a decent handful of 128xxxx radios in the Bloomfield talkgroup.
I have to dig a bit and see if they are just affiliations at this point or if there is actual traffic.

So it looks like I have a total of 18 Simsbury radios affiliated with the Bloomfield talkgroup, and of those 16 have a considerable amount of radio traffic.
When you say there is traffic, are you just going by the DSDPlus numbers? Those are not only transmissions, they are also affiliations. So a line like:
P25, BEE00.3A9, 11101, 1281018, 50, Normal, 109, 2022/02/01 15:30, ""
does not mean they keyed up 109 times. It indicates activity but not just talking. Look in the Event log and search for a busy 128xxxx radio. It will show almost exclusively registering, affiliating, and deregistration.
If you can hear the 453.7500 channel, you can let DSDPlus sit on that channel for specific Simsbury traffic.

New radios, some people like checking things out. There was also some Fire Coordinator and RAFS affiliations.
Then there are those who carry a radio for years and are baffled when they are told to change to a different frequency.

Sounds like they made the switch, I'm picking them up in digital now, where I could barely hear them in analog before. Are they in mixed mode? Also did EMS go digital yet?

They are not and EMS is still analog

On a brief aside, wondering if anyone knows what “ERS” stands for in regards to Simsbury. For instance I hear on the EMS channel “ERS car 10”.
Emergency reporting system (911)

PD stayed on the same freq and changed to P25. The cars sound good, but the dispatchers voices are distorted on my radios. (Unication G5 and SDS100)
You mean it doesn't stand for "Everybody Responds Super-fast" anymore????? I've been out of dispatch for way too long!

Yeah the officers sound ok, but dispatch sounds muffled, like they have a blanket over the microphone. Hope they improve it somehow.
