Our County (Newton Co. Ga) is a few days away from turning on a new Open Sky system, we have been told by our supervisors that in meetings about the upcoming transition to the Open Sky they were told that we will not be allowed to scan, for instance one of the Municipal Police Depts will not be able to monitor say the Sheriffs Dept etc, if they want to listen to them they would actually have to come off their dispatch channel and switch to the Sheriffs Channel, we were told because the way the system is designed too many people scanning will tie up talk paths and make system perform poorly or lose capacity. We were told well you dont need to be scanning any way,! But the end users disagree, we feel listening to other agencies is how you coordinate and work together. If this is the case its a shame that were spending this much money on a new supposedly state of the art radio system and we cant scan other local agencies.
Anybody know about the scan issue?
