Any news on status of this new system?

 

[kd4bas]

Sorry guys, I've been out of the picture for a while. My contact is saying that they are having "funding issues" and will wait till the new fiscal year (July 2016?) I did notice that the fire departments were applying for some coal severance money from the state for equipment so that may be whats going to happen (not sure)

The project has started. There was a hold up with negotiations with a tower vendor that they needed to use. Project could be done by the end of fall.

Update

Well the backup dispatch antenna has been installed and they are working on the backup dispatch center. They are installing the radios in the VFD trucks last week. From the info I have gotten the system should be up by the end of October. They are going to try and do some on air test next week.

Please advise frequencies used, System ID, Primary/Alternate Control Channels, WACN, Site NAC, and any talk groups that show up.

Thanks in advance,

The FCC database does not show any 700 or 800 MHz licenses nor are there any microwave frequencies.

 

[kd4bas]

Any idea what they are going to doing with their 3 UHF tower links or are they going to be part of the new system?

Link to newspaper article.

Henderson's new 911 tower, system nearly complete

Brings up some questions.
The 273-foot tower will serve as a central hub for a system of smaller antennas. The big tower will receive all incoming communications.

Were is the FCC license information?

Were is the FCC license information?

Does not exist! There is not anything in the database, not even a special temporary authority. Legally they cannot transmit with the system until they get a license.

They don't care about LAWS, they are the cops.

More like it is Motorola and they don't care.

Reading this newspaper article am I correct that Henderson County Agencies Like the Sheriff Dept are NOT joining the Moto 700 MHz Phase 2 system?

Console article

Also where is that CONTROL CHANNEL

 

[kd4bas]

That article is about the new system they are planning for Union County. Our county sheriffs channel is plagued by feedback like squeals when the other console is in use.

I just hope the new system can be monitored when it comes on line (and my piggybank gets bigger) if so I'll get the data submitted. :roll:

Here it is near the end of November and we got SQUAT on this new system.
