A easy way is scroll down to the start of the TALKGROUP and click on LIST ALL IN ONE TABLE then they will be sorted by TALKGROUP NUMBER.

Huh ?

 

[buddrousa]

Considering our system is paid for shows how uninformed you are. Our state system has dropped connection fees.

What 'Biden Bucks' specifically?
I wouldn't have a problem with it, because of all the things rumored to be in all the bills, having public safety able to talk would be one thing I'd be all for funding.

Having said that, I kind of thought the system was basically done. (Well, as done as a statewide system can be lol)

I didn't know about having the fees being dropped, how did that come about? I know a couple of users that dropped either entirely off, or down to a couple of interop subscriber units because they didn't want to pay.

It happened a few months ago If a site needs upgraded or added it is still the new users responsibility

I was working a wreck last night and the trooper was showing me they all got the new APX Next portable radios. Things are SWEEEEEEET. They bought 2,000 of them at 9k each from what I heard from the grape vine.

 

[buddrousa]

They have had them for years. They were all issued APX's when they went live on the TACN System.

The APX NEXTs are new. I believe those are used in conjunction with Critical Connect that allows for use over LTE or Wi-Fi.

 

[TNDispatcher]

The comms are still over RF but they use with LTE for the access to the servers

 

[buddrousa]

Thanks was not aware they upgraded did they do it fleet wide or just supervisors.

 

[TNDispatcher]

everyone got them.

The APX NEXTs are new. I believe those are used in conjunction with Critical Connect that allows for use over LTE or Wi-Fi.

NEXT's also can do FirstNET direct.
