I might be completely clueless! =)
Cassidian is dead, long live Motorola! Who knew that a trunked radio system needs to be replaced every decade? Certainly not Westminster as their $2.5 million system purchased from Cassidian in 2013 has joined their previous 20-year-old EDACS system. After getting the minimum advertised lifespan out of their system, Westminster has dropped $5 million on a new site to join the similar aged FRCC system. Will their new old system last longer than their old new system?
The transition might have been yesterday as Westy used Blue NW and Red NW for coverage on the south side, and Westy PD was in the clear for a moment until their FRCC site came online.
Technical information wise, the physical locations are the same, the control channels are the same, the talkgroups are the same, but it is shiny and Phase 2 now. Some of the voice channels have changed, but that should not matter for most scanners. Alternative receivers may need to plug-in the new IDs.
