The two week narrowbanding transition period for users of the county-wide VHF fire paging channel began yesterday morning. The new narrowband fire channel (155.5500 MHz) is now being actively used for alerting by four of our dispatch centers.
Radio towers on the BRICS 800MHz voice system receive a thorough yearly preventative maintenance check. During this process, each individual tower is taken out of service for several hours so that site equipment can be checked and calibrated.
BRICS is offering several radio accessories for sale at or below Motorola pricing for members of the cooperative maintenance plan. Also, Motorola is offering a promotional discount on the XTS-1500 non-public-safety radio that has reduced the price to the lowest we've seen yet.
