Okaloosa County Fire/Ems Going UHF?

[SCPD]

Does anyone know if the rumors of Okaloosa County Dispatch Fire/Ems switching to UHF Nov 1st 2012 true???? Someone told me that a Lt at Station 11 told them they were.

I HIGHLY doubt this to be true. Would take A LOT of changing things around at the CWP, both in the Maestro (SLERS console-since things are patched and simulcasted through the Meastro) and with the physical radio systems and repeaters, not to mention the logistical side of things when it comes to vehicles.

He was probably referring to narrow banding.

Even if it were going to happen, it would take them a lot longer than a year to get it done.

OHI063 Your right. The person that told me this bought me a UHF HT1250 instead of a VHF like i needed because someone told them they were switching over to UHF.
