This probably isn't the right forum for this post, but since our state uses a digital system, I figured I'd try here.
I wondering about fire departments that have joined the MPSCS and how they handle paging. I know you can't used traditional tone paging with digital systems. Do they maintain an analog VHF or UHF frequency just for the paging tones, then transmit voice over digital? I seem to remember there be some talk about our area joining the system a year or two ago, but someone brought up the fact that the fire departments could never join because the couldn't page. Now I see fire departments all over the state joining, so I know it can be done, just not sure how. Can someone fill me in?
Thanks!
