Okay, so I was looking through the TxWarn P25 database and noticed that there are a handfull of talkgroups that have "T" (TDMA capable talkgroup) listed under the Mode column. For example:
265 - T - Galv PD2 Alt - Police Ch. 2 Alternate
3267 - T - Galv PD3 C-C - Police Ch. 3 Car-to-Car
3185 - T - GalvBchPtrl1 - Beach Patrol 1
But none of the Houston Public Safety towers cover the island, much less even reach it. Even the Santa Fe tower only reaches as far as Hitchcock.
Are they just noting that the systems are capable of TDMA, but they may not be currently using it...or at least not until they get a tower that will cover the area?
