Does anyone know if Knox County has selected who their new vendor is going to be yet?
I hear that.Yes they are upgrading as the current system is very old, and Motorola discontinuing support for it. Holdup: Good Ole Boy Political Games! Same Stuff Different Day in the South.
I hope they pick it soon. The patch between Blount and Knox County for the Air Showis causing garbled radio traffic. People are getting clipped off and not getting all the radio traffic. Which is frustrating for the officers and the communication staff. Once command started using encryption and others officers the patch was lagging bad. Knox County Sheriff Office has digital capable units (APXS) why do they just not program them to Blount County's Talk groups on TACN into their radios?

Blount TG's are for Blount.
False. Knox County joined early on and is still a part of the TVR system. They even have some talkgroups on the system. While they might not have many radios turned on, they are very much a part of it. They obviously can't use it full time without tying in all of their sites and that is why isn't hasn't gotten further.Also not to mention, as of now, Knox County does not have an MOU to use the TACN.
