Several of them are currently talking in Nevada with a link established between the Northern & Southern parts of the State. They often speak like nobody can hear them and do become rather entertaining at times. For those that are interested their talkgroup ID is 05-041 on the NSRS.

Waste of resources? NO. It may seem that "idle chit-chat" might be viewed by outsiders as a waste, but this allows the techs to find weak spots in the system. The rural area isn't as well covered as the Las Vegas Valley. Covering the numerous valleys and mountain ranges is extremely difficult with an 800 mhz system. This system is not as mature in the rural areas as it is in the metro areas. It is still being tweaked.
They seemed more interested in their personal activities rather than the quality of reception at a given location. It might be noted that they are not DOT radio techs who are responsible for maintaining the system. They do work on microwave however. In any event they were entertaining.
