So they're not going to delay switchover until fall are they?I've actually heard quite a different story from my buddy in Medford. He's a past chaief & still an active member. There were only a few chiefs in the county consulted on the channel/zone layout that's been shown by you and myself here, and many other department chiefs are unhappy with the layout structure. Others are also showing proof that the new 6000's are difficult to use with structure gloves on when changing channels/zones to get off the response channel & on to the fireground ones. The existing XTS5000's are much easier in that aspect.
Many agencies will not have the mobiles installed until the fall at the earliest...
