Hiya All...
The city of Milwaukee has rebanded already. The frequencies on 866-868.9875 are not active with M/A COM(unicate) data channels. They are now located in the 851-854MHz.
From what I have heard, There are mobiles being used in the field (Squad radios). Most PO's I have talked to have said they are pretty bad sounding. Of course you should take that with a grain of salt considering,
A) Lack of training (i.e., wait for the beep before talking, etc)
B) Analog-Digital Patches are up, analog doesnt sound good on digital and vice versa
C) Officers not familiar enough to the digital sound
With that being said, I am concerned because of the outcomes of other OpenSky systems. There are far too many dead spots from what I have been told. That scares me for the firemen going into the burning building or that officer who is chasing the homicide suspect.

Not only that there tim, there`s the cost of the whole system (redoing the towers and adding new ones to fix the dead spots you referred to. That in itself could delay things a bit, just so long is there`s still some of the good ol` Analog MPD left to listen to for a while at least

Last night MFD F1 sounded odd and units were cutting out a lot.
Dispatch told one unit he keeps cutting out,and the guy replied "it's not me it's the new radios"
Then for about a hour I had a real hard time picking up MFD F1 which is always a strong signal,but for some reason it was like maybe they shut down the south side F1 site or something,MFD F2 was fine.
