Sounds like this is going to be a true Project 25 TRS that runs on 9600 baud. I wonder if they will configure this new TRS as a SmartZone or a simulcast system? In either case, residents in Alameda County who are scanner buffs are going to have to buy new scanners to keep up with the action.csuh13 said:The new system, a Motorola 800 MHz trunked radio network based on Project 25 standards for public safety, was procured at the end of last year. The first of its kind in California, it will be installed in a number of phases. The network is designed to be consistent with the Homeland Security Department’s SAFECOM guidelines for interoperability and also supports the State’s strategic plan.
That's exactly why I was wondering if anyone knew how it was progressing... I'd like to know how long I have to save up for that Pro 96!Thunderbolt said:In either case, residents in Alameda County who are scanner buffs are going to have to buy new scanners to keep up with the action.
Interesting press release, but what does that have to do with your title?n4voxgill said:They have to get ready for the new program .
All of the 800 MHz Project 25 TRSs are also fully capable of operating on 700 MHz as well as 800 MHz. Currently, the Pro-96 doesn't offer trunking capabilities on the new band, but the newest Uniden models do offer full 700 MHz coverage. IMHO, I would wait to see if Radio Shack has any plans to release a new model or a software upgrade first, before buying a new scanner.csuh13 said:That's exactly why I was wondering if anyone knew how it was progressing...
