How much do the two Uniden's cost?
MMIC said:...except for the 700 MHz simulcast cell currently on the air in Adams county!
I watch 322 and Smokey side by side. The same radio will hit both sites, 700 on 322, 800 on 107, even though there are 700's available on 107.
Is it possible to determine not only who gets to use a particular site, but who would get to use a particular set of frequencies on that site, such as the 700's, when a site is set up?
logitec said:If it were simulcast it would have to be CELLS. So I'll bite, where are the (at least) 2 sites that are transmitting the same frequencies at the same time?
MMIC said:There are three, but that is as far as I will go......
But looking at this more logically - knowing that these sites are not on mountain tops, which some RDF work in the area confirms, other than extremely tall towers with cardoid pattern antennas (I have yet to see these in this band), it would be extremely difficult to provide the coverage that this system does, in the shape of the coverage that it is, without a simulcast system in place.
MMIC said:The question is are all of the radios 700 MHz capable that are using the same talk group on site 107 as the radios that you know are 700 MHz capable? If even one of the radios that is on that talk group is not 700 MHz capable, the talk group call will be steered to the 800 MHz channels.
What about if there is a Pro-96 on the system that isn't 700 capable :lol:
What band the radio uses for a call is determined by the radios that are involved in the call at the site. It appears that 700 MHz is the "primary" band on this system, so calls will actually default to 700 MHz at a site unless there is not enough 700 MHz capacity for the call at the site, or one of the radios involved in the call is not 700 MHz capable.
Ok, That makes sense. Now at some point Adams County, for example, will have all 700Mhz. radios running. Would there have to be a patch set up for them to communicate with Arapahoe County, who has no 700 radios yet. Or would it default to 800 simply if one of the Arap. radios was on the Adams TG.
You are correct that radios and/or talk groups can be restricted from sites.
I realize this, but can you restrict Radios/TG's from using just certain Freqs. on a site?
Finally, since you are "inside the circuit", how big is this 700Mhz. drama actually going to get on this system?

No. The only partitioning of resources at a site will be between band plans.
Let's not go there quite yetAnd don't forget that M/A-COM is coming out with a new 700/800 portable very soon.
Which industry is that? Exercising the quipment to see if anything is going to fail is standard practice. What better way than to have everyone using the site to run it through the motions.I have never heard of "site stress testing" before, and I have been in this industry for quite some time.
Where are we getting this "simulcast cell" terminolgy from? If this were a true multi-site simulcast arrangement I should be experiencing lots of "capture effect" signal battles from multiple sites like I have with Aurora up here. So far it appears to be a single site.The testing stages are long over for the simulcast cell.

That thought had crossed my mind. v2.0?Thayne said:It's almost like "DTRS Master" has reappeared or something
