Hot off the (ham radio) Wire!
While listening to the comute on PARK 147.1800 107.2 I heard the normal chit chat, N0XLR's technical forum is always a treat. Someone in the discussion yesterday is a Radio tech with the Plano radio shop and they had their meeting with Plano Police to discuss the up comming re-band. One thing to note from the discussion was the fact that the channel line up Plano Police use from radio to radio vary. "Tac-1 in one patrolmans radio is not in the same location on the dial as his partners may be"
Many radios were programmed with Groups for "special favors" by Techs for someone who had absolutely no business with them.
The Plano radio shop told Plano Police ALL ID's were going to be changed and outlined more efficiantly as well as Monitored and enforced by Plano Radio Shop to prevent abuse and un-authorized programming.
The new radio personality will be percise and easy to use and the Same on radio's system wide. More inter-op groups will be added and training provided to Dispatchers on how to use the "Caller ID" feature.
It was an interesting convo, Will be something to watch with Plano's Talkgroups.
