"The new system is operating better because the signal is reserved for public safety, allowing officers to communicate without interfering with the main dispatch line, unlike before"

Glad I wasn't the only one that chuckled at that line in the article.

So, just curious. What is the 800 MHz system the article speaks of?? The statewide system appears to be VHF. What is the article talking about??

It is indeed the same statewide trunked system but with a single site that's running 800mhz.

I didn't see that site for some reason but it's the same frequencies and license that I posted.
