Howdy, everyone!
NeFire242 - you're right about the Cass county "issues" you've brought up, but I'd say that the FCC has MUCH more important things on its plate these days than worrying about Union QRT's license, WNKT876, being over 3 years expired!
I'd guess, on the PPD Mobile Dat system, that they're in the process of filing an application or have one in. The FCC will generally allow you to activate a system and get it running prior to having a license in your hands, as long as the application is being filed or has already been filed.
We've probably discussed this very point before, but what kind of effort has been made to move Union and Nehawka onto the 154.385 system? It's probably a money issue, as well as an issue of coverage, especially in the Nehawka area. Although, I think we've already revealed that Nehawka vehicles have the 154.385 radios in them - does Union?
If you're ever listened to the nightly paging tests that are broadcast over the Union QRT repeater, one has to wonder how that badly-distorted audio can set-off pagers!
