Douglas County system. They can patch 39.9 into their system. They are having problems with patching the NSP into the system. They do have the ICALL/ITAC Frequencies and they have 155.475. Douglas county has updated their dispatch consoles in the past month. They added more channels for other agencies. Unknown if they work properly or not.
The reason why Cass county was forced to go to 800Mhz is part of the state's regional radio systems. In the southeastern part of the state all the counties are going to 800Mhz. Most look like conventional.
On July 13 Omaha, Bellevue, and various other agencies had a hazmat exercise. They used ITAC 1. The ICALL/ITAC frequencies that are use in the metro area are on repeaters.
Any simplex frequency should not be used for dispatching purposes.
The only problem with keeping everybody on low band until the state gets money for a statewide system is there are little to no manufactures of public safety radios that offer parts anymore and less that are selling radios. The FCC requires EVERY public safety agency to be using or have plans for narrowband in 2010, the year maybe wrong.
