OFFICIAL MSWIN Thread

[fasteddy64]

Harrison County is establishing a new P25 Simulcast trunked radio network that will operate from 5 county owned
tower sites to support 4 county and city dispatch centers and 13 county and municipal public safety agencies with radio
coverage throughout Harrison County. This new network will be connected to the statewide MSWIN system.

Yes, it will be connected to MSWIN, but is it an actual part of MSWIN or just connected to it. In my mind those are two very different things.

Connected is Connected. It is not an actual MSWIN site, it is a separate system built and owned by the county. But will be full time connected to the MSWIN most likely by ISSI allowing truly seamless interoperability. Unknown as to how much encryption will be used on it. Possibly even share some , TG's as many such connected systems do.

Thank you. Thats the info I was hoping for.

The only "connection" I can see after wading through the contracts is an IP backhaul to the MSWIN switch (system core).

Maybe they'll use "connected" like how the current EDACS system is "connected", as in having both systems programmed into the radios (but only the Special Events TGs for the most part)?

I pick up 44931 along with capitol police 200 miles away. i'm in tate county using SDR setup with old cell phone antennas mounted on top of the house.

I heard a call and the offiver told dispatch he was at 51 at Natchez. Traffic stop I believe

I have been hearing traffic on that talk group as well

Must have misheard as 51 doesn't go anywhere near Natchez. Highway 51 parallels I-55 N/S pretty much down the middle of the state from TN to LA. He most likely said 61 as Highway 61 indeed runs through Natchez, and meets Highway 84/98 right outside town, at Washington, not to far away also meets the Natchez Trace National Parkway at it's official beginning. Used to be nightmare, but got improvements, especially during the 84 4 lane project! Now its a smooth 4 lane route all the way thru! I spent many, many hours on the strip between 553 in Fayette, and Natchez.

I'm pretty sure he was referring to the natche's trace

Either way, someone is dragging TG's, or they were not geofenced. Both very frowned upon by radio system admins.

Okay , I don't know what that means , but okay

Dragging a TG is when you go out of your area, and have your radio still affiliated to the system and on the TG for your area. Like say a Tupelo PD officer goes down to Gulfport and monitors his TPD TG, which uses a talkpath that shouldn't be being used by him nowhere near his area. Geofencing is when in the software, a TG is "locked" in an "fence" to an geographic area, and can not work outside it.
