Has anyone else heard/noticed that F-Metro-1 is being used instead of SG-KHP-1?

I don't monitor that one, but I suspect it has a lot to do with KHP eliminating F-KHP-2 and moving the whole troop to F-KHP-1, and (likely) all the Segdwick County troops to Metro. Both SG KHP 1 and 2 still show a signal on my radio just now so they haven't been shut off. Probably just new KHP policy.

I was in Wichita yesterday. It does appear the KHP Metro units are now on F-KHP-Metro 1 (KSICS TG 311). I've heard them on the Wichita and Butler CO tower. Sometimes I hear them on Hutch and Partridge's towers when a unit affiliates there.

For what it's worth, I heard a KHP unit on SG-KHP-Metro 1 (SGCO TG 85) go 10-8, dispatch said they are now on F-KHP-Metro 1 (KSICS TG 311)

I was in Wichita yesterday. Heard lots of traffic on (KSICS) F-METRO-1 as well. I wonder if this has anything to do with the new encryption on the Sedgwick Co. system?

I wonder how many other troops will be moving "dispatch" to one TG? I always wondered why Troop C needed 3 dispatch TG's...

I don’t recall what day it was. I heard a dispatch stating that all Metro units can switch back to SG-KHP-Metro 1 (SGCO TG 85), and that there was no need to go to KHP Metro Info any longer.

On Saturday, I was in Wichita and noticed that SG-KHP-Metro 1 (SGCO TG 85) is now secure (i.e., encrypted).

Later in the day, I heard one of the Air units go 10-8 and said they don’t have updated SG-KHP Metro channels in their radios yet.
