FYI:
In 2018, Tacoma Public Utilities awarded Motorola Solutions a two-year contract to replace their existing 6-site trunked (Motorola Type II Smartnet) 900 MHz system (known as "Tacoma Services" in the DB). Looks like it's now on the air. I submitted info to the DB and it's posted, although it's showing as a P25 Phase I system. It's actually Phase II.

Code:

I'm a bit too far south to hear this system well. Hearing a little traffic on TG 40636. When it's not garbled it sounds like patched analog audio from their old system.

It won't matter too much for the moment because the system will not download to anyone without any talk groups populated. When you or anyone can verify more TG data and specific users/use, we can begin to find-tune the system. When you know more, please submit, as always. Thanks!
