Hi all, wasnt awake for the upgrade however the techs were working down here late yesterday afternoon and TG 19907 and 19933 was active. that was till about 7pm. Im not sure when we lost the control channel but it came back on at around 2358 when a FRNSW radio reaffiliated to Mt Gray.
the Analogue CC is still active here.
cheers

It was a cut-over of essential power supplies at the NOCC in preperation for the switchback... it was scheduled a couple of weeks ago but was deferred till last night.

So the kill order for the analogue control channels must be only hours or days away ... GPT analog is still there. I think all the voice channels have been switched over to P25 control

Grant,

Still at least a few weeks away- a fair few radios still to reprogram in Sydney. My guess would be mid-June.

GPT must have a 4.1 voice channel...

Cheers,

I thought all the radios were already done with the changeover?
