If I am not mistaken, this means Open Sky for Wagoner County since Broken Arrows is using this system. I don't know why they chose Open Sky instead of OKWIN.
In a conversation yesterday with a BAPD officer who said the new chief is reviewing the Open Sky system and the general dissatisfaction from officers with the system's performance or lack thereof. If the review causes a decision to change in BA, Wagoner County could find themselves alone in the Open Sky wilderness.
I continue to be surprised by the lack of insight and information some government entities possess concerning functional radio systems. Sometimes, these entities are bound by having to go with the lowest bidder. On some occasions, going with the lowest bidder might mean the purchase of obsolete equipment, incompetent services, or both. Sometimes, large sums of money are wasted.
Hopefully, BA and Wagoner will come to their senses & join the larger P25 systems being installed.
If anything I could see them going to Pro Voice before they go P25. .
