I have a few very interesting updates on what is going on with the Manatee County FL public safety radio system. These updates are from confirmed creditable sources , not some of the jack asses that like to post misinformation for fun. one of them is in Law Enforcement and the other has many years experience with PROVOICE and HARRIS CORP. i myself am very active in scanning the manatee county system.
1. Manatee County IS having problems with implementing PROVOICE. These problems are caused by some kind of unknown interference. the interference could be caused by another 800 MGHZ system or cellular or who knows what else. this is not a problem PROVOICE but one unique to Manatee County. i was given the full run down on PROVOICE today from someone who has extensive experience with such systems and heard that PROVOICE does work in many places in the U.S , just not good in Manatee County.
2. This is very interesting. due to all of the problems PROVOICE has suffered in the many attempts to activate it full time, all of the deputies of the Manatee County Sheriffs Office threatened to NOT REPORT FOR DUTY UNTILL THE RADIO SYSTEM WAS RETURNED TO ANOLG!! or every issue be resolved with the digital system. This would have meant NO COPS ON THE STREET to protect Manatee County. Thank god this DID NOT HAPPEN NOR IS IT GOING TO HAPPEN!! Manatee County has since returned to anolog.
3. PROVOICE is most likely NOT going to happen here in Manatee County. Manatee county does still plan to go to a digital system , just a different format most likely HARRIS corp P25 and most likely encryption since Manatee County has such a AVERSION TO PUBLIC MONITORING!! the encryption part is still unknown i will continue to post info on this as it becomes available.
4. in the past month and alot more than usual today i have seen many new talkgroups coming on line they range from Law Enforcement to Fire , and EMS this is no doubt a signt that things are changing on this system. all of these new talkgroups need to be identified and their purpose listed in the data base any help would be greatly appreciated.
