They use both AWIN and the GATRRS (AKA TXWARN). At least that is the last I was told, and we have not received any submissions saying they officially quit AWIN. Would be hard to interop with MCSO, MCF/R, ASP, ADEM etc if they did not roll on AWIN.

GATTRS and TxWARN are 2 completely differently systems.

Here proof they use AWIN. I believe they simulcast to GATRRS. Not 100% sure though but from what I hear the 2 systems have the same audio I can hear them start on AWIN then scan and hear the same conversation on GATRRS.
