Rebanding status update

[wa8pyr]

All;

Here's an update on rebanding:

Rebanding Complete
Belmont County
Butler County
Clinton County
Cuyahoga County MRDD
Harrison County
Jefferson County
Marion County
Tuscarawas County
Austintown
Brown County
Clermont County
Mahoning County
Medina County Transit
Wheeling, WV

In Progress
Cincinnati - subscriber programming
Hamilton County - subscriber programming
Dayton - subscriber programming & exchanges
Pickaway County - subscriber programming & exchanges

All others are in the planning or negotiating stages at this time. If you're one of those happy people who needs to buy a new scanner, better find your checkbook; most of those in the planning stage are probably about to submit their proposals, so we're likely going to see a whole bunch of systems change in a fairly short time span once the infrastructure changes begin.

what dose subscriber programming & exchanges mean still new to this got a new scanner tho don't know if i need it but wonted to upgrade to digital tho

 

[jscott02]

"subscriber programming and exchanges" means just that. The groups that run each of those systems are in the process of reprogramming and/or exchanging radios attached to the system. Not all radios in service are able to be reprogrammed to the new freq's that are being used by the system.

I am in Pickaway County and still hearing everything but I did here Ashville I think talking about the new radios.

im hearing alot about new radios ashville had the new radios put in there cars one or two weeks ago theres been alot of radio upgrades this month been keeping my eye on the fcc for any changes so far i havent seen any will just keep looking

Correct me if i'm wrong Tom, but my understanding was the existing equiptment is to remain inservice until all radios and Cad's were updated with new frequencies? At the same time a temporary setup for the new system is to be a mirror image while this takes place ? Once the work is completed and signed off then the old system is turned off. I remember speaking to Mr. Bingman on this a while ago and that was the generic version of events to happen. I worked with him on patching 2 counties into this EDAC's system.

Will the PRO-106 work with this new rebanding? I think I was under the impression that it would.

Yes it will, with reset Custom Tables. See this thread:

I believe that Win500 offers the rebanded tables and, if I recall correctly, they will work before and after rebanding occurs.

That's it, more or less, except that old radios are removed from service as they're replaced; the new ones will handle both old and new frequencies. I expect the same thing to happen with Pickaway as happened with Clinton Co (new frequencies with new LCN assignments so old and new will work seamlessly together during the transition).

You don't need tables for an EDACS system; just program the new frequencies with the appropriate LCN assignments (I suspect the old channel 1 866.0375 will become channel 11 851.0375).
