That's a good question as to what the state will do about those that are not 800 but are APCO 25. Personally, as I have stated before, I don't see ANY problem with an APCO 25 system that's not 800 mHz being seamlessly interconnected, technically speaking, but with state agendas and personalities, who the hell knows what will happen? Since the different freq ranges will dictate that some of the infrastructure will be different and will NOT benefit the state's agenda, the state seems to be discouraging the practice. I think the state is so dependent upon the grants for these individual counties and municipalities in order to carry out their own agenda that they're trying to sell it as an "our way or the highway" kind of thing, and it seems to have ruffled some feathers in more than one location.
The location in Ashe County is Phoenix Mtn, BTW, and my info says that the analog microwave will be phased out. Much of the UNC micro is co-located with the CCPS micro, so sharing will most likely become a common practice. The spread spectrum stuff is links belonging to various state agencies to make the shorter jump from the main sites to sites that are/were RF links without having to put in a full-blown micro site.
