System Notes

Important Update:

The City of Boston Trunk system is no longer in use. It was shut down on Tuesday June 26, 2012 at about 2000 hours. All talk groups which were on the system have been given new talk groups on the State Trunk system Zone 1. Two of the three sites have been reconfigured and reprogrammed into the State Zone 1 system and One International Place is no longer in use. At some future time it is believed that more frequencies and capacity will be built into Zone 1. The shut down came earlier than expected.
