State Police is on p25 trunked. but its VHF. Portland and L/A will be the only areas 800mhzCrazy. 99% of the state is on VHF highband. Absolutely crazy.

Patches are used a lot on MSCommNet they are able to patch into most county dispatch channels and have little to no issues and the regionnets also play part in that. It seems only L/A will be on the 800mhz system probably with patched channels or they'll keep the channels they use now for inter-op plus they also have the statewide ConOps channels available for use.
I know there is a timeline somewhere. It won't be online for a few years but in the documentation i'm pretty sure it showed they were getting multiband.Now that EFJ has been awarded the contract, I wonder when the system will start to go online. Being that everyone else is VHF I can see L/A using multi band radios and patches.
