Washington Cty new P25 system

[Hearken]

Does the new P25 Washington county system use a Custom system like on the old Motorola system? Cause when I down load the P25 system from Radio Reference, I still don't hear anything. And yes I am using a TRX 2 and a BC536 radios. I live near Gales Peak Site. Just thought I would ask.

Its my understanding that this new system is still being set up. It looks like nothing goes live until later in 2019. If you hear anything, it's likely simulcasting on the old system, or testing.

It doesn’t do any talk groups unless a radio is on their system. It doesn’t simulcast yet.

Hello I'm new at Listening to p25 clackamas County I put in all the freqs all I have heard was ccom fire dispatch.Is there more or is the system just not all up and running. Thanks

A radio on the system has to be affiliated on that talk group for the system to transmit on the talk group. So it sounds like the only radios on the system are fire radios.

The P25 system only has one site each in Washington County and Clackamas County. I think those two sites are just for testing.
