Okay, so KCMT has their new 700 mhz P25 system that seems mostly operational. So what is their UHF system for? Is this backup and/or for the older busses?

The system is definitely not a simulcast.

It seems that 462.65 is very active (at least on a Saturday.)

I dont see 462.65 listed on that license... Do they use 460.375 also?

Typo and you meant 452.65?

The UHF system is what they've been using for years. The 700 system is only a few years old. I haven't listened to the 700 system, but everything is slowly migrating over there for narrowbanding (and the advantages a trunked system gives you). Not everything in the fleet has a 700 radio in it yet. But they've got 11 more months.

For reference--here are all the freqs for the UHF system: http://www.interceptradio.com/s.php?sfr ... call=1&z=1

Only use the PL on channels 1-4 for the "broadcast" messages.
