    Pulaski County DMR

    I'm very new to programming trunked systems I know little about. What's the best way to use these frequencies to find more information in terms of programming. I have a Uniden SDS 100 w/DMR and live close by. In short, I'm comfortable programming systems that I can mostly import. This is new to...

    Pulaski County, Radford City new DMR system

    Recently Pulaski County started using a DMR trunked system and there's not much information I can find online. Are they still using UHF analog conventional for paging? (the frequencies on the database?) Is Radford City on the new trunked system? Do we know what is encrypted vs open?

    Needing help with a scanner asap

    All of Monongalia County is on the SIRN digital network. County fire and EMS are also patched on analog VHF conventional primarily for paging. County Fire Dispatch analog 154.875 = SIRN TGID 305 EMS Dispatch analog 155.235 = SIRN TGID 301

    SDS firmware 1.23.03 main / 1.03.05 sub released

    I thought I was the only one. This VHF system can be a nightmare to monitor in my experience.

    New to Roanoke area

    As far as the local public safety radio system (Roanoke Valley Radio System (RVRS), Roanoke City Fire-EMS and Salem Fire-EMS are not encrypted. The law enforcement agencies are locked down. There's some other smaller agencies not encrypted on the system. But it's simulcast, which is brutal for...

    Radio system upgrade in Botetourt County

    I agree, it's too late. The state's largest counties have dropped millions and millions of dollars in creating their own systems, and like you said, they're not switching to anything. It's just frustrating knowing what we have vs. could have. Absolutely bizzare to see four counties in a region...

    Radio system upgrade in Botetourt County

    I think my issue is that this wasn't explored before now. Most states have a statewide trunked network, with varying degrees of participation from localities. I understand Virginia's VHF system isn't ideal for localities, but I wonder if there should've been extensive planning to create a system...

    Radio system upgrade in Botetourt County

    Pulaski seems to be the outlier in the region with a trunked DMR system. 700/800 P25 seems to be popular among Virginia's larger counties. Also coming soon to Montgomery.

    Radio system upgrade in Botetourt County

    Makes me wonder why these counties couldn't work out a P25 system years ago and share costs? Now we have tons of different systems with poor interoperability.

    Radio system upgrade in Botetourt County

    Giles is also updating their system this year per sheriff's office Facebook. Unclear to what extent, but they said it will include DMR. I have to wonder what these Virginia counties see in DMR when compared to P25...but that's just my view.
