Voice & digital on Dallas PD frequencies?

[intuity]

I've noticed that it's quite crowded around 460-461mhz, with a lot of DMR, NXDN, and occasionally some P25 up and down the block. I live in Addison, and have a FT-100D connected to a 2M/70CM base antenna up about 30' in the clear - I can catch traffic on all of the listed DPD FM analog frequencies with and without PL - but sometimes, on the same channels I hear analog voice on, I'll catch a few seconds of P25 or DMR.

Normal? Bleed-over?

I suspect that you are getting bleed-over for the DMR & P25. I'm not seeing that type of activity at my location (in Oak Cliff). There's a ton of DMR in use on frequencies that could bleed into the Dallas PD frequency range, or a harmonic of one of the non-DPD users.

For NXDN, remember that some of the frequencies for the Lancaster & SWRCC NXDN public safety trunked systems are on split frequencies near those used by Dallas.
