According to FCC Database, The Brown County system license was issued
almost a year ago on July 30, 2001. The Oxford system is licensed for
the Police Department and that one was issued on October 28, 1999.
Are you saying that the FCC isn't 'checking up' on these license
issuances for 'slow growth' purposes? It's possible, yes. But, after
going through the FCC database for Ohio recently, they're 'offlining' a
lot of systems for 'slow growth progress reports'.
Does anyone else have any further on this?
Last I heard on the Stark County system, this was supposed to be a
trunked system. Even on the Stark County Sheriffs Office website, they
mention a radio 'system' and that once Canton upgrades, if they want to
combine 'systems', it would be even better. They may very well be using
the frequencies in Conventional mode. I'm just going by information that
has been obtained from the FCC database or from other sources.
