Hi all - I continue to be confused.
The following names get thrown around, what's the official name of this system?
- BAPERN
- MSP
- UASI
- Metropolitan Area Simulcast System (MASS)
(all from this document: https://genesisworld.com/assets/uploads/PDF/press/caseStudy_Boston_012414.pdf)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next: TG 1185 which used to be some always-on patch with HUPD has been silent for some time, but now it's new purpose is now evident. One of the secondary CPD Controls (RID 23319) called on this channel "Control calling Traffic 119", "Control calling Traffic 119 on the emergency channel".
Over the past few weeks, I've noticed that whenever a traffic unit goes into emergency mode (the nice big red button on their radios), that talkgroup gets alarmed and put into use.
Therefore, instead of "CPD Patch to HUPD", the new purpose is probably something like "CPD-EMER/CPD Emergency Channel".
Unsure if it's specifically for just traffic units, though.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last but not least: I can't help but notice there are two forums that have good information on the new system: radio reference here, where there isn't much discussion (but perhaps data from ScanNE is imported into here?) and ScanNE. Where would be a better/more appropriate place to discuss?
