So, I live in a county where the County Based EMS has digital radios, they are on the P25 digital state trunking system well, the original plan was for the analog repeaters/radios to be recycled and taken out of service. Well, the private ambulance companies couldn't "afford" to get new digital radios so the county donated all their old analog radios to the private ambulance companies.
So the UHF analog repeaters are still active and patched in to the new digital system well my question is... how do they patch the old analog raidos and new digital raidos together. The dispatcher TXs is in digital too ONLY the private EMS is analog.
Anyways...They act as one system... when the digital radio transmits the user of the analog radios can hear their transmission and vice-versa. From what I hear once they private ambulance companies have the money they will move to the digital radio system and then the analog radios will be taken out of service and recycled.
Sorry for the long question... I'm new here. Thanks!!
