Palm Beach County Municipal 700 MHz TRS

I see that the "Municipal Public Safety Communications Consortium of Palm Beach County," has applied to the FCC to erect a digitally trunked simulcast radio system. Both license applications can be viewed at the FCC Web site:

Application 1

Open Sky....not simulcast or P25.

Oh brother, this is not good news! :roll:

And a great waste of taxpayer dollars and a loss of necessary coordination should something big happen. The people involved in this must have an ego the size of Mars. We have a GREAT radio system in Palm Beach Co. Gardens, Palm Beach and soon Jupiter and Juno will go to the sky is falling which has NOT been successfully deployed properly anywhere. Why? I guess some of the chiefs and their advisors have an agenda which will never be known.

West Palm Beach PD isn't on it yet, but were trying ?!?!?! :-(

Open Sky....not simulcast or P25.

And what is the proposed use for this new system? Surely not to replace the existing Motorola type II system, which is a great system! :wink:

Not for my users...it is for those who don't like Motorola I guess. I don't have any part of the construction or management of it. It is strictly a venture by a few municipalities, 2 to be exact with an additional 3 as tag along users strictly in the north end of the County.

Application

Thunderbolt....the Open Sky applications you refer to are for a mutual communications center to be operated by Palm Beach Gardens to dispatch Jupiter, Juno Beach, and possibly North Palm PD.
