Yes indeed, everyone I know that uses MOSWIN, MSWIN, LWIN, and the few on TACN so far, love the systems, and wish they had had them years ago. AWIN, some agencies are very happy with, others for some uses, love it, for others, not so much. In the metro areas, where the coverage is much better for HT's so far, where the techs have all been on the ball, the users seem mostly happy with it. In rural areas.... It is awesome for large scale events, and for multi agency interop etc.... Which is what it was designed for to begin with. For many rural FD's, they don't need the AWIN on a daily basis, and depend on their own systems for main comms... Now if an County is cash heavy, or gets the stors in their favor for a big grant etc... They really would be wise to see about building, or converting one or more of their own system sites into an AWIN site if feasible. urently AWIN is not really meant to be the daily go to system for every agency in the State. Maybe once upgraded to Phase II, and then having much more massive load out capabilities, maybe then. Or if suddenly a windfall of at least 1 more Zone, and at least a dozen new sites in strategic locations.....
So far, the only State Agencies I have heard complaints about AWIN from is Fish & Game, and Forestry. Every ASP, AHP, DOC user I have talked to seem pretty happy with it.
Anyway, currently it is what it is.
