Ok, this is going to stir the pot. But I am curious... why?
Why are so many communities are going with LTR / Passport systems for public safety use. There seems to be a lot now. I seem to remember East Windsor, Windsor, Bloomfield, Cromwell, Newington and maybe some others I forgot about going LTR recently. I thought LTR was marketed more for commercial (community repeater) type of activity. I can understand getting a talkgroup on the local vendors LTR system for administrative communications but for fire, ems and pd?
Does anyone have any first hand knowledge of any benefits LTR/Passport provide over other systems?
If this LTR stuff is so great why do so many people state that the systems they monitor have lots of issues? It seems like I am reading "there back on their temporary conventional channels again" or "they are on the back up LTR system this week" often.
Playing devils advocate if LTR/Passport is SO great and cheap compared to Motorola why didnt the state look at it for the CSP and all other state services?
