Has anyone heard of the RCA RPX4000 or the RPX6500 radios? They will do both phase 1 and phase 2 and I wonder if anyone has worked with any of these radios?
Unless I’m missing something I don’t think they were ever made in 7/800 mhz.
No they never did or at least not yet , but i was just wondering if anyone here had used them on some other system

Is VIPER the primary source for all NC Police, Fire, EMS?
No, each department can choose a system of their own or to join VIPER, that said as far as I know each county has access to VIPER and has radio IDs and TGs on the system, as well as access to statewide TGs, even if they do not use them. Durham, Fayettville, Charlotte and Raleigh (Wake Co) are all examples of agencies not using Viper as a primary comms source.

In Pitt County all LEO is on VIPER, Greenville city fire/EMS is on VIPER, but county fire/EMS departments are on the county’s own P25 system. The county’s dispatches are simulcast on a VIPER TG.
It varies a lot throughout the state.

We do not have our own VIPER TG's in our radios anymore. I am thinking you had to pay to be on this system so once we went to CAM we stopped paying?
While it is pay to play, I wonder how statewide TG usage works, such as EMS to Hospital or the LZ TGs for coordinating med helo landing zones, or the DPRR and HART. I'm thinking those are system costs the state covers, but don't know.

VIPER doesn’t charge to use the system.

You don’t have to pay to use viper…. You have to buy radios but there are no subscription fees

I think you also have to pay for additional towers to go up if you want more towers then the state provides
This wiki page could also serve as a help with which counties are using VIPER and to what extent.

There are no user fees for VIPER but the subscriber equipment is the responsibility of the user/department. Every county has an allotted block of IDs, at least 6 talk groups (though they are allotted a block of many more-they may not have a use for or be using any more), & is supposed to have capability to use it in at least their PSAP/Dispatch center.

It is the Wiki you can update it, if it is not correct.
