Oh I hope NOBODY. We lost RSO to PSEC and that's bad enough.

I really doubt that of the other cities will go PSEC. Rumor on the street is that for what an agency would pay the County in radio rental and airtime over 5 years, they could build their own system.

Not only is the cost of renting PSEC radios & equipment from the county very expensive, it means giving up control to the county, which I don't think any of the holdout depts. want to do, same reason they didn't want any part of the EDACS system.

They could make a west county interoperability system like they did with ERICA. Then, they could have police and fire services from Riverside, Corona, Murrieta, and Hemet extendng coverage. RFD is on a UHF radio system unlike the rest of the county.

RFD is on UHF because all of City of Riverside PS comms are on UHF. They have VHF freqs to talk to Cal Fire, and do so on a regular basis when there are fires in the riverbed, which is pretty much the dividing line between jurisdictions.

Still I think it's a great idea.
