Noticing road users on type II talkgroups.. 29xx and 30xx i didnt catch the exact number. I have the older type I groups in also. Came up during wildcard search.
If you get this tony.. is the county phasing out the type I groups?

Hmm. . . .
Switchover with phasing out of Type I talkgroups occured in 2006 during our upgrades to the Motorola Gold Elite Consoles. . .
Never updated the agency web site with the Type II talkgroups for municipal crews. . . was waiting until someone asked why they couldn't hear the snowplows anymore. . . 3 1/2 years later Frank asks . . . .
When I get back to the office next week I will post the Municipal/Snow plow talk groups on the system with the official designator and fix the agency web site to reflect as such.
All Type 1 talk groups are no longer in existence on the system.. Fayette is a Straight Simulcast Smartnet Type II system since the upgrades in '06
(An incompatibility was found between Gold Elite Consoles and a Central Controller for trunking supporting Type I or Type IIi Talk groups causing intermittent communications failures between the console and the trunking repeaters--solution from Motorola --how many radios will only function on Type I? replace them and reprogram everything to Type II . . . Approximately 20 radios needed replaced by the municipal users/fleet. A lot of the equipment was in boxes awaiting repair and parts due to age. . . Made it an easy factor to change ovesr to Type II)
Again, I'll post the Type II municipal data next week. (At home on vacation and don't have the data here)
