Don't know. That's why I asked. I'm guessing your answer is yes?Got a crystal ball?
With the FCC wanting to take back the T-band and Homeland Security pushing the nation wide use of the 700 MHz band for "interoperablity"! What's your guess?
Thanks, I hope they don't. I don't want to buy a new scanner.I think so, but don't expect it any time soon.
Nypd is so busy, they probably wouldn't gain anything by going trunked. I did hear rumors of FDNY going to APX UHF/700-800 and using talk groups on the new 700.
You guys are outta your mind if you think the police department is gonna give up the T-band spectrum that they have now. The amount of money invested in the system is incredible. It would have to be some incentive for them to give it up.
There is no way the NYPD would ever consider digital trunking. The system would have to be twice as massive as the UHF conventional in place already. The coverage would need to be seemless and the audio would have to produce very loudly in the city enviroment. I reguarlly monitor Washington D.C and Chicago fire and they are always having ongoing issues with the audio on scene. The cost would be ridiculous as well to float on the tax payers, and we all saw what happened with the opensky system, I don't believe that the NYPD would support that.
Because you're scanner is not TDMA Phase II capable.i have the doitt 700 mhz p25 programmed into my bcd996xt never heard anything on it.
