most of the day both radio techs, and computer techs have been doing upgrades to state system. they are using talkgroup 1039. was just checking in with zone 6 few minutes ago. one tech has a bad hard drive, and another is getting errors . eariler one tech was getting errors and told site number ,and tower number. another tech to him that site was down by Detroit, and was changed to a simulacast site{ possible site 701}. last i heard one tech was going to try new hard drive.

Any chance you can record any of the MPSCS radio tech talkgroups, I would be interested in listening in from afar.

Getting back to the scanner issue..this was indeed a system update right. And because of this system update the scanners were unable to trunk site 701 during superbowl weekend..RIGHT.

"Getting back to the scanner issue..this was indeed a system update right."

An update? No. Hard drive replacements happen because of hardware failures.

"because of this system update the scanners were unable to trunk site 701 during superbowl"

No, this was a change in the control channel. It was not a part of the 6.5 update, which the rest of the state received last week. If that was the case, non-updated scanners would not work with MPSCS. That was not the case. Not sure why you are posting this in the MPSCS tech thread -- or at all?
