Alachua County has begun testing automated voice alerting on their dispatch channel. The 2-tone VHF paging system remains in tact, the only known change to my knowledge is the new "robot voice".
Does this mean that the VHF transmitter will go away now?Robo-paging is live as of today on ACFR 1.
Confirmed on my PRO-43, Robo-page is on 154.3250 along with tones.Does this mean that the VHF transmitter will go away now?
Yes, the 100% simulcast ended late last week. Two-tone paging is still being done for all Alachua County and contract stations. Gainesville has ceased the simulcast and two-tone paging on their VHF as well for Squad 2. They are likely alerting their portable radio, as they don't yet have a full-time station.looks like the analog simulcast has ended as of today hear dispatches on the trunking system and not on the 154.3250
