It doesn't matter and it does not need to be discussed on here.
The Sherriff Repeater only covers the Courthouse area (and a little beyond); it is not meant to be Countywide. They also have a portable repeater on the same frequency set that they use at the at the County Fair.
Yeah, 155.310 always covered the whole county. 154.980 is WPD only now and is broadcast across the whole county.
OK, thanks!
Are you all going to keep it in your radio as a talkaround or a back up.
No, ill PM you
What was the timeframe that the 800mhz system was in place? Was is just for the city or for all of Lyco? Any idea what the details were for it, like how many sites, channels, how long before they abandoned it? Always fascinated by the idea that they completely abandoned a new radio system.
If I remember correctly I want to guess mid-late 90’s? I remember a few visits to the City for high school football nights and remember adding in the 800 system to my old Radio Shack scanners but never had much luck hearing much on it. Then remember it just mysteriously vanishing the next time I was making the trip a few years later.
You are going to have to turn the PL off, for some reason the PL is gone on the output. once that is gone you will be able to hear it.
Ah! Thanks
Yeah, the old City 800 was short-lived and, IMO, gave trunking a bad name for the longest time in this county. Poor coverage in the city and I know they had a couple of remote sites to try to remediate. I don't know the full details on it as it was my pre-whacker days, but I heard stories of it working better outside the city than inside.
I know they had the TRS in service in 1997 when I was a student paramedic. Went until early 2000's if I recall.
