Calloway County Upgrades

[kytnradios]

Calloway County Magistrates have approved $200,000 to pay for communication equipment upgrades for the Calloway County Sheriff's Department. Anyone have information? I think the Murray Police Department's recently installed P25 system cost around $90,000.

I know they have contracted Motorola to do some upgrades to there console, but nothing near that amount. Could be MDT's. Don't think it is a new radio ssytem ie p25 or anything becuase the upgrades to the console dont include anything for that

Any resason for MPD on 453.975, it's a county freq.

THey occasional talk on 453.975 to communicate with the sheriff's dept since the PD is VHF p25 and the so is uhf and the SO doesn't have any vhf radios much less vhf p25 radios MPD will switch over to there channel ocassionaly to communcate with the SO

Comms heard seem to be within PD not with Cal.county. May be means of interop. Comms are low volume
and have strange distortion.

MPD is UHF digital and Calloway is UHF analog ... the only VHF that murray has is their old radios in the cars.

I am not calling your explaination in to question. I am saying that I have monitored that freq., due to the fact my reciever is not digital and I have heard MPD (only).

I say enjoy it. Saves the cost of buying a digital receiver!
