[ScanIndiana] Greenwood PD Digital Radios

Perhaps in Indiana the 9-1-1 systems are only involved with phones.

Just for comparison, I live in Peoria County, IL (but travel through Indiana 
very often).  The infrastructure for the enhanced 9-1-1 system in this county 
is owned or paid for by a county agency called the Emergency Telephone System 
Board.  Not only do they own or pay for that telephone infrastructure, but 
they also own the radio infrastructure to get the 9-1-1 calls to the 
emergency responders.  All of the consoles in the four PSAPs are owned by the 
ETSB.  The radio control lines to the base stations and remote receivers are 
owned or leased by the ETSB.  The ETSB owns over 100 pieces of radio 
equipment in several bands.  They own T-1 lines that take CAD between PSAPs.  
Quite a bit more than just "telephones" in that operation.  Their revenue 
source is a tax of $.80 per month per land telephone line, and a smaller tax 
for wireless customers (the wireless charge was set by the State). 

Every state is different; kind of interesting, I think.
