Clearwater getting new radios

Someone posted this link on a local group:

Clearwater prepares for costly preparation for Republican National Convention - Tampa Bay Times

Paragraph 7 pretty much sums it up. I guess you can't have interop unless you have the same toys as the next county over. :roll:

Darn, I should've been a radio salesman. Harris P25 anyone?

So glad I have digital scanners But if everything goes to ENC, then I will have 2 for sale lol

I wonder when they are going to stop being paranoid about Pinellas SO taking them over and jump onto the Motorola system...

 

[Tryton]

I thought that was put to bed awhile ago.. Is that rumer still going around?

The rumor can be dead, but that doesn't mean CPD isn't paranoid about an SO takeover. Pinellas county LE interop would be a seamless, beautiful thing if CPD would just get onboard the big M bandwagon.

When cpd says 'inter car' do they mean Nextel or cell phone or i-call?

cpd an hillsboro county

isnt hillsboro county a edacs system an cpd a edacs system. if so how can they not communicate with there present systems. pasco county talks to hillsboro now when the situation arises in fact i have herd pasco talk to sumpter county s convention system not a clear patch but a patch on a 800 frequency douring a car chase.
