St. Albans Barracks Goes P25

[DeeEx]

Since the existing thread was dedicated to central VT and the Berlin barracks…

A source told me that A2 was making the switch at the start of the new year…sure enough, they seem to be entirely digital now, 460.025R with a (now-predictable) NAC of 0A2.

I haven’t heard anything analog on there since the new year began.

I wonder when the other barracks will switch? Hopefully not encrypted.

An observation…

Perhaps digital emissions are coming over more repeaters than analog had been; specifically one located in Burlington per the FCC.

In the past I’ve been hardly able to ever receive 460.025 on a handheld scanner in the Burlington area; with the new P25 repeater, I’m receiving them “full quieting” down into Shelburne. That kind of range was unheard of when they were analog just one short week ago.
