Rebanding?

[aristotle73]

This morning I heard the dispatcher announce "Attention all units, please report to (location) between 0900-1500 (9am - 3pm) for your radios to be reprogrammed." Is this the rebanding that has been dreaded? Has it already begun?

And which system or frequency was this heard on?

It's much more likely a group was getting reloaded with new talkgroups or freqs for a tac operation - I think there's been some reports about this on the City system. No, I don't know what they would be.....73s Mike

Anne Arundel did some type of radio upgrade/swap several months ago... They had medical units reporting to a fire station in Glen Burnie (I assume because it was near North Arundel, er, I mean, Baltimore Washington Medical Cener - and they could catch alot of them as they were leaving the hospital.

As a user of these radios, I haven't noticed any changes - yet.

You might notice that you can TX medical data without the ptt time out timer cutting you off.

I assume you mean this enabled the TX of a 12 lead (cardiac monitor data) to the ER on the EMRC talk groups...

If so, I was not aware the PTT would actually cut you off... do you mean lif someone had an open mike, the system would automatically disable it after a while?

Never noticed that - must be a pretty long period before the timeout kicks in.

I don't recall the timing but yes you are correct.
