Well after talking to some folks at FC EMD, I found out that there isn't going to be a NEW TRS after all,.. but they are just reactivating/renewing the Hattiesburg site, so I added it to the db as site 3.

They are using landlines. I remember that from the news story when they were first installed

Cool I wondered about that when I was attending USM in 1995/6 and was working with Campus PD, still only VHF Hi Band back then,.. and FC was still on VHF/UHF, the TRS was only for Hattiesburg PD/FD... even DPW was still on VHF. I remember the USM PD callsigns used to be:

PD Dispatch was - USM,.. and most of the patrol officers were called by badge numbers ex- 2155. Campus Escort was Echo units.
