Sanilac County Update

[mirangerman]

Well - looks like Sanilac County is getting closer to being on target. Several Towers have either been upgraded, or installed - and looks like it will all be operational by end of 2,012.

But then - that is my estimation only - there's (Sanilac County Emergency Services ) -"MAY", differ! lol

This would make complete sense. The high speed microwave backbone licenses were approved a few months ago. The next phase after all of the transmitters are installed, is the FCC license approval for the voice channels.

[mirangerman]

Not sure if its been mentioned elsewhere ....... Sanilac County l has been on digital since June 2014.

 

[freqs]

But is it still a patch .I see no FD.?

 

[mirangerman]

No - they have been using it steadily since 06/14.
Not sure why FDs n EMSs still using analog though.

 

[kc8vlv]

I heard some reasons, why were 1, Sanilac county fire chiefs voted it down, because their fire departments can't afford the new radios. 2. all of Sanilac counties fire and ems and communicate. on 2 channels Sanilac fire and Sanilac e.m.s. 3. some of the fire departments still use Vhf-low band on Mobile to base as a fire ground frequency .

 

[freqs]

Well wouldn't they have to patch do to the number of VFD Home units .

I didn't know that had low band still .do you have a freq list that is knot in the Database
