Since there is no 800Mhz pager because digital trunked radio is simply not suited for reliable alerting it looks like most departments are keeping their conventional UHF, VHF, low band frequencies for dispatch. The battery live of a P25 Pager would be a nightmare by the way.
I don't exactly understand how the P25-Traffic gets simulcasted on the analog network and I'm sure you guys could enlighten me. From what I understand a digital trunked radio system shares a number of frequencies with a large group of users and assigns the frequencies on an as needed basis to talk groups. When all the frequencies are busy it is not possible to establish any new communication. Now...so there can be multiple talk groups on the P25 network but only one on the analog network. Which P25 talkgroup will be simulcasted on the analog network and does this have to be done manually? I assume it wouldnt make sense to simulcast all P25 talkgroups to the single analog frequency...
Thanks for your help.
