Upgrades Coming to the Henderson KY 911 Center.

HENDERSON CO., KY (14 News WFIE) - We're learning more about the upgrades coming to the Henderson 911 Center.

Henderson City-County emergency personnel presented a plan to the Cooperative Study Group outlining costs and necessary equipment.

The plan includes new antennas, towers and stationary radios for all firemen, officers, and EMS crews in the city and county.

In all, it's expected to cost $7.1 million.

The Cooperative Study Group will make a recommendation to the City Commission and to the County Fiscal Court.

They will then vote on the plan.

I'm not sure what kind of system they will migrate to, if any. In updates or news on this, feel free to post.

Kevin.

It would save them some money if they would join with Owensboro and share the same system and just add frequencies in Henderson.

It was save a lot of tax payer money if they would implement a P25 multi-channel VHF conventional simulcast system. Wait until the see the $100K per year maintenance bill for a big trunking system that they really don't have enough users to justify.

So does anyone have a time table for this project?

 

[dixie729]

I think bonds are still trying to be set up for the project

It is my understanding that a 10 year maintenance agreement is included.

The City of Owensboro purchased Motorola P25 at the end of 2012 and went live early 2014. The County is still operating on conventional at the moment.

We will probably continue to operate on conventional VHF for quite a long time.
