Let's git 'er done real soon people! lol. Hopefully it wont be too big of a major thing to fix and they can get it done really quick, and yes I can totally agree with monroeuser on that we do need more towers!!!

Monroe County has Five towers right now. They technically need 3 more. 1 on the south end, one near the Monroe County Sheriff Department, and 1 more up on the north end near milan. While this would still proably not provide 100% handheld coverage, their handheld coverage would definatly increase.

Remember though, towers cost a lot of money, so I only look for them to install the one on the south end and maybe within the next few years they will get around to putting one in the north end. But you never know they might go ahead and do it anyway.

Motorola met with the county and they are going to be climbing the towers to figure out what is going on.......so hopefully we will know soon what the problem is

Sure enough, it was the Dunbar Rd Tower that was to blame for the recent radio problem in Monroe County...read more about it on the link above.
