Towns County

From the very top of GA.
Towns county has just invested in the Kenwood NexEdge system.Right now they are still using the Analog side. WHEN they go to the digital side there are NO SCANNERS that will currently recieve the Kenwood NexEdge digital signal. Is any manufacturer (like Uniden) working on this? There are MANY municipalities starting to go to this crap. Kenwood is using the fact that scanners cant recieve their signal like regular digital APCO 25 as a selling point. I am VERY FRUSTRATED.

Towns County's NEXEDGE System ?

What frequencies will Towns County use in this new NEXEDGE System? The only licenses the FCC data base shows for Towns County have Call Signs:

WNNA888
WPMY614
WPNR411
WPYD392
WQDG477

None of the frequencies listed on these licenses have emission designators for NEXEDGE, so what's up with this? As a matter of fact all of these licenses except one still have only wide band emission designators. Will Towns County be piggybacking on someone else's system or have they purchased NEXEDGE capable equipment not knowing whether or not they can get the additional frequencies necessary to license a system of this type? Anyone know?

MotoTRBO can be picked up and decoded with the right software.

Cleveland PD (White Co.) as switched to Digital MotoTRBO and is having some audio quality problems, fancy that. I was told that it sounds like you are speaking threw a 20 foot long paper towel roll.
