Just a heads up that, as far as I can tell, in the next few months OSP & ODOT will be switching to P25.
The August OWIN progress report shows that $43 million will be spent in the 2011-2013 biennium for microwave radios, $8.5 million for trunking (Willamette Valley & Bend), & $49.2 million for P25 two-way radios for OSP & ODOT for areas outside the TRS. Radios will be Harris Unity multi-band.
According to the report, OSP La Grande has already had 3 new repeaters installed (Mt. Emily, Ladd Canyon, & Mt. Fanny). Focus will be on Eastern Oregon before winter while Western Oregon repeaters are installed during winter so that they are done by next summer. All of the new repeaters are currently in the OWIN warehouse & mobile radios will be put into service in October. Encryption, trunking, & GPS will be used based upon the individual jurisdiction's needs.
All of this assuming, that they don't change their minds.
