You are obviously confused. When the current system was built, Motorola recommended more sites than GE, thus costing more. The county went with the lowest bidder (GE) and got way fewer sites than Motorola recommended. Now that Motorola is building the new system, I believe there will be in excess of...

How is it Motorola's fault? The current radio system was not built by Motorola. Furthermore, the MDC's use cellular service. So again, tell me how it's Motorola's fault?

That is not true. Some stations only run three shifts, others run four. And not all times are the same.

Some do know that I-call, or "individual" as it's referred to, can be easily monitored. Others are uninformed. And then there are those that don't care.

EC units do have designators as they are in the field often. They are 5EC500 units.....

I worked for SBSO back in the 90's. Every agency, including fire, can all talk together without being patched. Every radio has every agencies channels (to an extent). If an SBSO unit wants to talk to Fontana PD, they simply switch to their channel, no sweat. Very nice to be able to do that.... Maybe...

You can say what you want about Motorola v EDACS systems, but I think Motorola is far superior. Last night, SBPD had a pursuit that started in the city and traveled as far west as the 605 fwy and Arrow Highway, then throughout the city of Pomona. Ground units could be clearly heard throughout the en...
