Just to clerify a couple things about scanning. When Opensky was originally developed it did not scan. Oakland County told Macom that they needed a system that does scan, so they wrote new software and the system has scanning, has now for over 3 years. Each dept decides what talk groups they want their people to be able to scan. All radios can contact any agency in Oakland County. All radios can talk to the state police. Very soon all the radios will be able to listen/talk to Detroit pd/fd, Redford pd/fd, Livonia pd/fd, Warren, Sterling Heights pd/fd, Shelby Twp pd/fd, Utica pd/fd and Macomb County Sheriff.
As an extra note, the Opensky radio can be programmed to work directly on the MPSCS but MPSCS can not be programmed to work on Opensky.
