I have heard from someone that Jackson City Police Officers have just recently switched to using MA COM P5400 portable radios.Does anyone else know anything about this?

Should have stuck with Motorola becuase they work best on the M platforms.
SEMTTP said:I went throught Jackson City Council minutes all the way back to January, and there is no approval to purchase new radios. Where did you get this information from and can you provide a link?

SEMTTP said:I think what he is saying is he hopes that the MPSCS has approved the usage of the M/A Com type radios. As of right now those radios cannot be used on the MPSCS.
one could only hope there is someone over there with a brain that will just talk them into starting maybe another sub system of the MPSCS.

Patching won't be around on the system very long because I don't see the MPSCS allowing it much longer.
rdale said:I'm not sure who told you that. There's no such thing as "distorted" sound from MPSCS. It's a digital system, so you don't hear bad audio. I'd invite you to drive through Lansing someday and listen to the patches. You wouldn't know the difference from MPSCS and Ingham Co 400.
What are you talking about? There are BOATLOADS of patches to MPSCS. It would be INCREDIBLY stupid for MPSCS to cut off mutual aid patches let alone the standard patches to sheriffs (Eaton patches MSP users in directly, and Clinton Co too.)
Where did you get this info? It'd make a good news story if you have any backing to your claim, as clearly this would be harmful to protecting our state and for no good reason other than MSP whining.
