Looks like Currituck County is working up a new 800MHz system.

An FCC application was filed this week.

5 sites, each with the same two frequency pairs.

Emission types on the application:
8K10F1D P25 Phase I C4FM Data
8K10F1E P25 Phase I C4FM Voice
7K60FXD Motorola MOTOTRBO Data
7K60FXE Motorola MOTOTRBO Data
20K0F1D 19.2 kbps RD-LAP
20K0F3E 5 kHz deviation "Wideband" analog voice

Application - 0005268701 - CURRITUCK, COUNTY OF

Outlined in a very recent board of commissioners meeting, http://co.currituck.nc.us/pdf/board-of-commissioners-minutes-current/boc-agenda-packet-12jun18.pdf,
is the specification it is to be "P-25 radio compliant and compatible with the state’s VIPER system".

Anybody know what they are doing?

From what i know, a p25 non trunked system, similar to their VHF system, they are trying to eliminate the interference issues

7K60FXE Motorola MOTOTRBO Data is listed wrong. Should be 7K60FXE Motorola MOTOTRBO Data & Voice.

Looks like a blanket authorization. Saves on admin later down the line in case they decide to use some channels for TRBO (like public works) and P25 (like public safety). This is just a possible scenario, not saying they're going to split up the services...I notice most shops doing this now days now that digital formats are so prevalent.
