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.
