You're probably going to end up hearing the same bits and pieces here as well. No one from the County is going to come to the forum and officially say anything.

What I know is some of the sites have had prep work done, new gas lines, new generators, antennas moved around.

New frequencies have been licensed.

Not sure if any infrastructure equipment has been delivered or installed.

When the system is ready for testing, they will move DPW over to it first, let them find all the dead spots, once that's all ironed out then they move PD over, and then Fire/EMS if they decide go go that route. Last I knew they planned on making some upgrades to the UHF conventional system and keep Fire/EMS on UHF.
