Washington County's new radio system
Does anyone have any information on the (supposed) new system for Washington County? Apparently, it will be implemented when they move in to the new comms building (whenever that is). Thanks!

I'm getting 98% on the control channel. Static no voice. Been getting that for about 2 months. Haven't heard any testing.

I've submitted the system to the database. I receive it fairly well in Loudoun Co, especially considering I can get the Frederick Co MD system at all.

762.xxxxx is out-of-range for my BCD396XT. Scanner starts at 763.xxxxx. |

Just enter the control channel and let the scanner do it's thing. It will self-populate the band plan.

Nathan,
Nobody said the system was 700 MHz. My question was why this information was in the database.

Because the is the plan for the system. The system is set up for UHF, 700 and 800. They are currently only using UHF, but can add 700 later, say when the state wide system comes online or add 800, when Loudoun switchs. This is stardard for current P25 systems and allows ease of adding new channels with out redoing all the radios |

The new radios have been installed in all law enforcement vehicles
|
A Sheriff Deputy I spoke to said that the county has to re-install radios because the county "bought the wrong ones". Apparently Motorola doesn't support the radio models they bought. He also said they still have more equipment to install (the MDTs to be specific). I'm not sure if he is very reliable, but take it for what it's worth.

About 80 percent of the training has been completed for personnel to operate the new system
|
A HPD dispatcher I spoke to said they have already completed all training. I'm not sure what this person in the article is referring to. |

It is the Herald-Mail. They cannot get any story right.

Or the dispatcher was referring to dispatcher (and maybe user) training and is not aware of other training still to be completed. (User, System management, Technician, "Train-the-trainer", etc.)
Or, the paper got the quote wrong.
Or, the quote was taken a while back.
