I was over at their PD a few weeks ago and the dispatcher said sometime this fall. I am just glad they did not go with the Edacs system of Ba like they originally were.

Does anyone know if these updates will be digital or analog?

EDACS isn't that bad as long as you have a antenna in your town. Broken Arrow's system works quite well

Edacs..

Ya.. that was interesting.. I heard they where going to use the edacs.. and was suprised they changed to thier own system.

so what city cant talk to what city now? BA to tulsa,? Coweta to BA?

BA can talk to Coweta and Tulsa to BA it just has to be patched like almost any other place.

BA's comm-center has a "Tulsa" Radio.

Yeah and I got some swampland for you. Till last year there had been 3 sucwssful patches with TPD/Tcso/Bapd. They are on 800. Coweta is still on vhf. The officers I was talking to said they could not patch with 800.

Coweta was originally going to the BA edacs system. We were talking to some of them and they asked us about it. After they talked to us and to the discruntled BAPD officers and GLenpool officers they made the right choice and went to the state system, Since their decision Wagoner Co. is going to the state system.
