Currently Lancaster County is still bidding for the old TV Channel 15 frequencies, however WGAL has just recently decided that they want space in the same spectrum, thus bidding for the acquisition of the same space.
If WGAL gets that part of the spectrum this will force Lancaster County to move to the Public Safety 700/800 band, thus increasing the cost of the system considerably dependent on the types of radios and additional towers needed for that part of the frequency spectrum.....
Just a little update for you all........ BTW this information came from the mouth of Michael Weaver, Director of LCWC so the information is very factual. This is the information that he gave the Lancaster County Fire Chief's Association at their March 10th meeting at the Lancaster County Public Safety training Center [LCPSTC] (PROUNCED "LIPSTICK")
