[ScanIndiana] Danville & 800 MHz

Thu, 8 Aug 2002 20:08:16 -0500

What sort of "back up system" is there to MECA.  If most of the area is =
on the same system, a small failure could be wide spread and dangerous.

  Just got this...you may already know...

  Some off you may have heard, but here is the official word:

  As of January 1, 2003 we will be using Indianapolis Fire Department =
through
  MECA.  The system will be available for testing sometime in October or
  November.  This system will require some changes in our protocols and
  station numbers, however, the benefits will far out way the downside.

  I have to commend FF Linville for his diligent effort on this project.
  Without his work on this, there is no way we would have made this =
switch.

  We will be getting mobile data terminals for the frontline equipment,
  stations and switching to MECA pagers.

  We are still very much interested in a central dispatch for this =
county,
  but we will use this system until one can be established.

  Thank you and stay safe
  Chief Little
