Hi all, any recent rumors on when Longmont Is going to switch to DTRS? The Sunset repeater has been operational for a few months now, but the only local traffic I've heard through it is Mountain View Fire...and that's mostly been administrative and chit-chat traffic.
A heard a rumor a few months ago that the Longmont switch wouldn't happen until after the first of the year, due to budget constraints. Yet the city just bought 190 acres of open space for 8 MILLION dollars. Seems a new communication system for public safety would be bit more important? Heck, for 8 million dollars they could have hired a few more police officers to keep the local gang problem under control!
