Take a look at the local newspaper and see which face is smiling at you in all the PR articles.

The FCC would not agree to a power increase but I believe they did authorize a transmitter HAT increase (Height above Average Terrain) which improved signal range a bit more. Quit whining about 800MHz because it is NOT going to fix the problem. all a higher frequency does is reduce the effective range of your transmission although it will increase its penetration capability..which means you will now hear your radio inside the courthouse? (like you care because its normally off in there anyway)

Re: Radios
First of all excellant point on the union, you guys really need one "what" is right it will help you..
secondly 800 mhz are the way to go, believe me the radio system needs upgraded my roommate works for st. johns and his radio sucks. I have a emergency button on my radio if i hit it comm knows it was me and gives me an open mic. 800 radios are great, if you get the right software and besides the fcc is suspending all 100 mhz freq by sept 6, 2014 no matter what. If you go to the fcc's website you will see... get a union and be like mayor peyton get a 1 cent tax to pay for it.

Re: Radios
The agency that I'm with just changed from the 100mhz to the 800mhz system last in 2009 and it is NO better. as a matter of fact there are a lot of problems with it. If you have urgent traffic and someone is transmitting, at least with the 100mhz you can transmit over the person that is hogging the radio. while there is an emergency button on the 800 system, good luck remembering to use it if you ever have 10-33. On the 100mhz when it's staticy, the dispatcher can still hear you, just not that well. on the 800mhz, when your in that same area, the dispatcher hears NOTHING. the system doesn't even register that you tried to transmit. On 800mhz, car to car goes down all the time and when the "radios go down", they are DOWN. you can't just switch to a different frequency that is still up.
There are some benefits to the 800mhz system, like it shows who is transmitting and when the radios are good they are crystal clear, but the problems out weigh the benefits. specially if your agency doesn't have the extra money set aside to do the mandatory upgrades that it will need right after it's installed.
