I'm sure others would be quite interested in where you had seen/heard the news of this.
Proof please. I'm sure others are gonna ask the same question.
Interesting. But I thought Fleetnet wasn't a good choice for portable coverage but rather better for mobile coverage
Your answer was rude, so as well mine will be: Have you ever heard of a fire truck and a mobile repeater?
Firefighters are never not near a vehicle (in Scugog anyway). This solution would work well for them, last time I knew they were using HF radios.
Folks -- what is northern Durham fire using now for radios? Are they on the Durham trunked system?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the car radios are 45 watt Astro Spectas fed into a wideband VHF whip. The towers I imagine are similar wattage (or less) but obviously have the advantage of height. With such a set up I'm not surprised at all that they're getting such good mobile coverage.Why is it that fleetnet/opp get such good coverage with their system? I know the towers are roughly 50km apart....i wonder what wattage they are..i assume 50 watts inside the cars, not sure what the towers are....i know a lot of systems you have deadspots and only say 10km range....

I've heard there are a couple of others (mixed mode I think) in the GTA. I need to get Astrosexy and try them out sometime.
