Matthews County supersystem

[n4jri]

While setting up some new scanner banks, I did a routine check of the FCC licenses for Matthews County. Was surprised that they have a system under construction for the sheriff that includes no less than 6 DMR repeater frequencies. I'm thinking that this means a separate repeater for each individual deputy on the road during peak tourist season.

Gately in Hampton seems to be the contractor. Anybody hear anything about this?

Also, I found an existing thread, after I spelled the name of the county correctly in the search (only one "t"): http://forums.radioreference.com/virginia-radio-discussion-forum/302952-mathews-co-mototrbo.html

Thanks, Mike. I'll happily move over to the pre-existing thread. Lots of great info there.
