Trunktracker 71.....I thought you lived in Darlington.. Different systems Pal 8 in Darlington vs the Florence County System. There are some conventional analog channels the Florence Boys go to from time to time but have not heard any digital stuff officially here. They still have MTX8000s and MTS2000s in the field I heard it would be 18 to 36 months before they had to change to digital and this was from a county wheel. So far as Digital I heard the Darlington Co. Fire Brigade was going to MotoTURDo VHF and was ticked they were not going to 800 MHZ since the little chief came from a hard nosed 800 county in his past life!

Yes I had that confirmed today by the 800 guru that rode with me to Spartanburg today! He conformed Hartsville uses VHF for tone outs only! Dont believe I have ever programmed them in a radio before at the shop I work for......
