Hello NC Forum:
I originally posted a query about NCSHP and its migration to 800MHz in the western part of the state.
http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=23827
North Carolina's VIPER (Voice Interoperability Plan for Emergency Responders) initiative soon became the topic of discussion.
The topic has been touched upon here and there in our forum, mostly concerning the new NCSHP 800MHz radio system going online. It might be informative though to consolidate a general discussion focused on VIPER-related funding issues, technical information, etc.
One big area of contension is how federal Homeland Security grants are being "diverted" by the state of North Carolina for this project.
Another point of dissension is that some localities do not want to be forced to go "800MHz".
There is no arguing, however, that state and local agencies do urgently need interoperability.
