UCA Governing Board meeting notes

[gldavis]

From the Oct 30, 2024 meeting.
"Afterwards, some agencies participated in soft cutover, some didn't, some brought the radios they were using, but now that it is final cutover, people are showing up with boxes of radios that were found in their closet that haven't been powered up, that may or may not, need new code plugs. For every radio, it's not just one size fits all, and a code plug, or a personality-it depends on the make and model of the radio, and the flash, the software that's in that, and the level of software. Continued examples of unique situations being faced by those programming radios. This has happened in every county, with at least one agency saying they would like to change or add this talk group, technically, the answer could be no changes, but UCA wants to be accommodating."

You know, from an emergency management perspective, that's disappointing to hear. This was a major, planned event. An event that was in the works for years. I'd be curious to see where the communication failure took place because based on limited, outside information, UCA and L3Harris were rather communicative with end users about when and where things would take place.

And even if they weren't, there were plenty of resources online to direct them to point people to contact with questions. Heck, they could have checked here...we all knew!

Basically it wasnt a priority until the oh crap moment
