Rebanding infrastructure retune is still scheduled for January, 852.2125 & 853.5375 have been removed from the control channel list and are now voice only.
We are planning on a 12 month schedule to install the new system, the new system includes 10 channels at 10 sites (100 GTR-8000 stations), seven MCC-7500 consoles, and a new logging recorder system.
The new system will use the same frequencies as the analog system and will still be a simulcast system. Encryption will be available, it's up to the individual agencies if they want to use it.
We'll be using the same core that the MARCS 700 MHz Cuyahoga County system and Lake County's future 7.x system will use. Roaming will be seamless between Cuyahoga, Lake & Geauga counties.
