Isle of Wight Applies for 800 MHz P25

Haha

And Terry Hall would be the first on my lawsuit if something ever happen to family that is LE. He is a joke, yes it is but its dumb. Run sensitive stuff over the computer. State police do everything by MDT. They even mark on a traffic stop with them. I have seen it

A couple of the northern end FD's were so distraught, and put up such a fuss at the last meeting about not being able to hear LE, that the Sheriff's office caved in and will have the Chiefs and Captains radios of those two departments programmed with the encryption key so they can monitor LE. Bunch of crybabies.

Lemme guess, Carrollton and Rushmere or Smithfield?

I agree with you. He's only in it to fatten his hip pocket. He even went so far as to tell Surry that P25 isn't available on VHF or UHF.

I don't really understand why just the chiefs and captains get the key. Why not give all the Fire Department the encryption key or is that just too complicated for Ole Hall boy

Because he believes all LE should be locked down and no one should be able to hear what goes on. He's a firm believer in "If there's something the public needs to know, we will tell you what WE want you to know". He's a double dipping, conflict of interest, paranoid, bald headed little pygmy that thinks he should control all of the communications systems east of the Blue Ridge Mountains. I'd like to see his tax returns. I guarantee you there are some hefty 1099's from MSI in there.

Terry Hall

Clb I agree with you. I want his *** gone. There is no need to ENC law enforcement. If it's that serious call or use MDT. Hell even some PD use Zello.

Who is Terry Hall?

For those of us not familiar with the area, please explain who Terry Hall is and how he influences local radio systems.

He’s a system administrator on the JCC-York system, as well on IOW. As you know, all of the law enforcement channels on the JCC- York are Encrypted because of him. He made it that way. He’s doing the same thing with this system.

Terry Hall, is chief of emergency communications for York-Poquoson- Williamsburg Emergency Communications Center.* He also joined APCO over 20 years ago as a commercial Motorola vendor. He is a self proclaimed and self appointed "director" of a regional communications system he's hell bent on creating for the entire Hampton Roads and adjoining areas. He skirts the Virginia Procurement Act by piggy backing new systems onto the contracts of other localities so they stay with Motorola and ( likely) fatten his hip pocket in commissions. So far, New Kent is the only locality to see through his BS and build their own system and save millions of $$$'s. There's alot more to his history but I think you get the idea.

He is also in the habit of spreading false information of the capabilities of these systems. Going so far as to say that P25 isn't available on VHF or UHF. One other thing worth mentioning, he recently told the county that it was impossible for the school system to have an emergency button on their radios to alert LE in the event of an emergency. They're on the same system!!! Use the man down button!!!

Looks like more delays. Switch over has been pushed back to early 2019. Apparently Suffolk is due for a $2 million update and that update is throwing everything for Isle of Wight out of whack.

It amazes me that as bad as Isle of Wight needed to upgrade their system they're having to deal with and putting up with delay after delay because of one man's ego. For $3.2 million they could have had a conventional VHF P25 system in place and operational 3 years ago. SMH

What are they updating in Suffolk?

What are they updating in Suffolk?

I'm not 100% sure. I know they were in negotiations to upgrade to the 7.16 release. They may be preparing for future migration to Phase 2.

Just to give an update. Testing should begin in a couple of weeks. Suffolk is done with the Microwave update. As for now, Fire and Rescue is utilizing ORION OPS 1. Too many failures in the legacy system the past couple of weeks. They can't seem to isolate the problem. It appears to be one of the voting sites.

IOW Fire is using ORION or Suffolk?

 

[clbsquared]

ORION. We were issued 100 or so radios from the cache last night.
