Texas DPS Still Using The P25 Vhf High Band, Or Are They Using TxWARN?

Ive seen 2 or 3 DPS Tahoes running around with the vhf whips missing...mount is there...just no whip..so I guess that says something as well...

Halfway to anywhere ... you're still in Texas.

Yes--- and you are likely gonna buy gas...likely gonna eat somewhere..
....although....many moons ago...
I did drive my pickup non stop..(not one stop for anything period) Dallas to El Paso...hard right to Alamagordo NM another hard right up the mountain to Cloudcroft NM
And the same on the return trip
Really hard on kidneys and back
....but driving safely...no donations or unscheduled side of the road meetings with DPS

You never realize how big Texas is until you drive from Amarillo to San Antonio and it takes 8 hrs. This is when you go WOW. The state is so amazing big that there are some big major trunked systems and tons of them in all different counties and multiple big trunking systems serving tons of counties and cities.

People who visit Texas have no concept of how big it is. People from Europe who visit really have no concept of how big it is.

Yes, TxDPS codeplugs can be huge.

At the moment they are limited to 3000 channels as that's the limitation with Motorola APX radios. Now if Motorola gets their auxiliary codeplugs setup then they can potentially push 30,000 channels across the 10 codeplugs on one radio. That being said…EFJ has a licensable limit for 4096 channels and BK allows for 5000 in the new BKR9000.
