The existing transmitters are being used with digital encoders/decoders piggybacked to them. That would be why they can't just use the analog system while they test the digital. Narrowbanding was introduced in the 90s and made mandatory by the end of this year Radios made since 99 -2000 are compatible with narrowbanding, but not digital, as someone said the county drank the system sellers Kool-aid. As many departments had radios that were more than capable of doing narrow band. P.S. the reason the FCC mandated narrow band by 12/31/2012 is frequencies are licensed and by narrowing the band widthes more descreet channels are available to police fire and businesses

More transmit sites are probably part of the problem as digital radios don't deal well with interference. Departments have coplained of hearing strange noises during transmission and lost calls.

Even if this only allowed them the time to have a study hall hour it makes sense to me. When I was in HS I could have used the time during the day. Many times our student athletes are pressed for time as they Have practice, games, homework, and sometimes jobs to cram into what's left of their week after their commitment to a full school day.

We could have had you're Gov. and be talking about the overruns in the high speed rail project. The overpriced fares for the high speed rail project and the $100+ per taxpayer that we would have been paying to subsidize again the high speed rail project because nobody wants to spend that much to ride a train.

I guess my question would be did they use them on other calls that night and decide not to use them on this call "knowing" their actions or reactions to these known individuals may be less than exemplary

Let me remind you that 6 adults died at the elementary school trying to stop a deranged individual with a gun, if any of them had a weapon they would have stood a much better chance of stopping him.
