[Scan-DC] Arlington Makes The Switch

Tomorrow (Tuesday May 20) is the big day for Arlington County.  The
new ECC will go online starting around 4 a.m.

>From what I understand, the county will continue to keep the old
trunked system online, but with limited capacity.  It will be a
five-channel trunk and will simulcast the main police talkgroup, and
1A, 1B, and (as needed) 1C on the fire/EMS side.  These talkgroups
will be patched with the new P25 system to allow for mutual aid.

If things go as planned, the units will operate on the new true P25
system Tuesday morning.

Here's the link about the new ECC from WUSA:

Unfortunately, it is my understanding that the 154.13 simulcast will
be discontinued.

Has anybody found the frequency for the county's public address
system?
