VA State Police-Appomattox Switchover?

[BlueMoon2]

Hi Everybody,

Did I miss a thread where somebody said that the Virginia State Police at least for Appomattox has switched over from their analog channels of 159.135 and 159.165 to the VA STARS system? A friend of mine pointed this out to me today and I have found that it seems to be true. I was monitoring VSP Appommattox on both the analog channels and the VA STARS system, and they only came over the STARS system and not the 159.135 or 159.165 channels. Anybody know anything?

Hi Andrew: 159.135 at Bearden was off for a long time, then it was back on recently. I haven't listened to it in a while but the scanner is locked on it now, I'll see if I hear anything.

Also, the entire state (VSP) has been on STARS for a while but some sites were left on the legacy channels. Bearden was just transmitting APP2 the last I knew.
