For all those who like the adventure of discovering new systems and figuring them out , VZC's new toy is in the works.
5 Sites, 4 new towers and 1 leased.
FAA approval on 3 of the 4 with the 4th in the mill waiting to pop out.
Both LE and FIRE will be encrypted.
(Can't have those burn ban calls going out in the clear)
So, you all have fun, supposed to be turned up 3rd qtr 24.

Also, probably need someone to start a GoFund Me accout to get money to pay for annual maint on it.

Correct, they are not. And why VZC thinks fire should be is beyond me.
It may change before it gets started
time will tell.

Have a feeling the Fire side encryption might go away...
LE side, I would say small chance of dispatch primary being clear...

Almost a half mil on Smartphone Licenses for world saving BeOn
in little, somewhat poor Van Zandt County. smh
