The Aurora Sub (51) also has had their radios recently installed and are now using the system. I think some radios are still being installed, still some testing..

In 2003, our Sheriff's Dept purchased a large amount of portable radios, primarily XTS5000s and some mobile units. The city police already had XTS 3000s (early models) that they got in 2002. Anyway, I discovered over the summer that our county does not have "Omnilink" which of course enables a departmental radio for D Region to affiliate with a tower in say, H Region and be able to talk on that tower.
I happened to speak to a tech from Ra-Comm who stopped by a while back to do yearly preventive maintenance on both mine and my partner's portables. I asked him why our radios will not affiliate with the other towers in the state (having took it with me on family trips to see how it would do). He says my county never paid for "Omnilink" to be programmed to our radios. Now how does that work? What's the point in the state giving us the grant but not pay for the "interoperability" we so need? I then had an opporitunity to speak with the sheriff who was in office at the time of the upgrade. He swore to me that arrangements were made ($$$$) for Omnilink to be put in the system. Is Ra-Comm bending my department over?
