the new system is only 20 watts and the map shows a radius of 5 miles. So I wouldn't expect too much.

I haven’t monitored much as I used to. I have an analog trunking scanner so when I heard they switched over it didn’t get me excited to turn it back on.
BUT I decided to turn it on today while I had a bunch of errands to run. I only monitor FD’s around the area. Wallingford FD is still broadcasting in the VHF channel. Not sure how long it wall last. They are still a combination department. Will the volunteers switch to the indication G4/5 series pagers? Or will they continue to simulcast on VHF, or text (cell phone) paging?

Wallingford FD is not using the new TRS yet. Currently they have a voter that is simulcasting the conventional FD channels with the new FD talkgroups. That is why the transmissions don't have any RIDs.

HMMMM I heard a FD Disp this morning on the new system with TG 201. I have not heard anything on the old system all day
What do you mean a voter simulcasting. A voter is a piece of equipment that listens to multiple receivers, determines the best audio and sends it down to the console and to the transmitter on a repeater system.

Its definitely analog audio fed from the voting comparator onto TG 201. I heard presence of the 2175 hz guard tone during radio transmissions.

For those of you unaware they have been patching Wallingford's P25 system with CLMRN, pushing their Police Ops Talkgroup to random TG's on CLMRN. They are patching through CLMRN Site 29 Troop I Simulcast. You can see Wallingford's System ID and CC in my DSDPlus log...

As of right now, it's just an ISSI connection between the Wallingford P25 system and the CT statewide P25 system.
It isn't something that can be monitored reliably by scanners. I have logged 41 different temporary talkgroups for the one Wallingford PD group.

The differences between the old and new system are taller replacement towers at the Cook Hill site (25 feet taller) and at Police headquarters (20 feet taller). But, looking at some topography maps, I would not be at all surprised if you are receiving the site in Northford at the Wallingford line. Its on an old AT&T microwave tower and has not much in the way of obstructions out your way.

Still nothing for me. Are you at the top of Benham or down near Dixwell? What channel are they on anyway? Is it 851.4875?

Control channel is 851.5500. I live in the northern end of town, not too far from Cheshire and Bethany. Their signal is very strong, like a -60 dBm on my SDS on my north antenna. I get them about -70 dBm on my south antenna I use for Suffolk County NY Pd.

Still nothing. Is this a phase II system?
