Notes about the new system:
| · | Kern County is in the process of upgrading their overall countywide communications system that is 25+ years old. |
| · |
The new system will be a microwave backbone system, including 26 microwave
links, 100 mountain top repeaters, 13 dispatch consoles, and 2,500+ mobile and handheld radios. |
| · | Three phases to be completed. -Phase 1 Site preparation (Complete): including upgrading previous communications sites, and starting preparations on new sites. -Phase 2 Replacement of the Microwave System (Complete): Replacing the current analog microwave system with a new state of the art digital microwave system. -Phase 3 Replacement of the Radio System (In Progress, complete Mid November): Replace the entire radio system, including repeater towers, handheld, in vehicle mobile radios and base station radios. This phase also includes testing of the coverage area, which is currently in progress. |
| · | Even though the new microwave system will be a state of the art digital system, all frequencies will be in analog mode and will be able to be monitored with any conventional scanner capable of scanning the 150 mHz band. |
