I expected you to chime in and I appreciate the response. You have confirmed some of my fears. We are not opposed to an LTE solution and demoed several about two years ago before selecting the current P25 system. The issue that admin. had was any recurring cost associated with an LTE...

A local school has asked our department what we recommend to improve radio coms inside a school. They are preparing for a referendum and which will include various safety upgrades. We use VHF P25 (conventional) but I have heard that BDAs in high-band are very difficult to tune and use...

Did you get this figured out? Mukwonago PD is NOT on OASIS, they are using a multicast system with two output frequencies. They are VHF P25.

You are going to have challenges. I just deployed a VHF P25 system. The repeater is on a water tower at 150', the hospital is 4000 feet away. We had to add another repeater to the inside of the hospital to make the portables useable. The noise floor in the ER was between -97 and -104. You are...

I manage a 500' tower site in the Milwaukee area. The owner is an avid boater and member of the CG Auxiliary and really would like to see a rescue 21 RXr on his tower. The question I have after looking at the R21 map is, is there a reason that many of the R21 sites are low sites? They seem to...

RF Technology Eclipse 2 base stations, Harris XG25M and P units.

This is global. We have two sites that vote. Initially I thought it was only occurring at the remote site and we had a network error, but I am not observing network issues when these problems occur. Also, if there is a network error, such as a link failing, each repeater would function...

We have a new to us P25 system (conventional multicast W/voting). At times, units will key but you only hear a "click" as if they unkeyed, no voice. Is this what it sounds like to not capture? the same radio can key a second later and be just fine. These are mobile radios mostly, RSSI is good...

I maintain a JPS SNV12 for our PD. We just switched to P25 so we are repurposing the voted system for our DPW/backup PD channel. Both have their advantages.

What kind of latency are you getting with Slink?

A couple people in our area had the same issues. One guy sold his equipment but is active on GMRS. Very different class of people on GMRS and ham

This is a two-site conventional P25 system. Portable units utilize "vote scan" to select strongest transmitter while the repeaters use a distributed voting protocol to select strongest receive. No encryption. I thought the vote scan was creating a problem but the issue is the same on mobiles...

Update: Our dealer reviewed the programming and they too are confused. This is an issue with the entire fleet and not just one or two radios. We also noticed that if the user tries to transmit "over" someone else, the radio produces that unfamiliar beep, but then continues to receive the other...

We have had our P25 system up for a couple of months. Our fleet of XG25P and Ms all do this... If the user keys too soon, such as during hangtime (less than 300ms), the Harris gives an unfamiliar beep or chirp when pressing the PTT button, and then transmits NOTHING. I have TX buy option...

That's a fair price!

What do the units and monthly fees cost? I have customers on the same system using Hytera gear around $15-$20/month. I've seen prices all over the place on POC airtime.

It is my understanding that OASIS only has one site that is actually in the city of Milwaukee whereas Milwaukee's system consists of 14 sites, all in the city?

We are live with a two site multicast P25 system (RF Technologies multicast). We have a fleet of VHF XG25M radios and XG25P units. We have a recurring issue on the both, mostly the mobiles, where an officer will call out an entire traffic stop and NOTHING is heard. They rekey, and are crystal...

It's a cool product. I was trying to overcome a NLOS deployment and with the dissipation of some lower priced 900MHz units, I looked at these. The overall bandwidth and latency was my concern. I could MAYBE make it work on a 50Khz channel, but it would be right on the edge. This would have been...

I just looked at these as a solution for a PtP link needed for a remote site. The bandwidth was a little low for what we need.
