Chuck, your experience parallels what many users in Pennsylvania have
experienced. The only difference here is that the state continues to throw
money at a dead animal believing that it can be made to stand. The general
opinion here is that in very strong signal conditions (like in the lab)
The problem with both systems (and is also a problem with Ohio MARCS,
which is Motorola Smartnet w/P25 audio, and MI too), is that they were
designed and spec'd BY THE GOV'T to provide mobile coverage, not
handheld coverage, and they are trying to use it with mostly handhelds.
Also it was only

Yes. I experienced both good and bad. When it works, it works great.
When it doesn't, it's simply not there. The network experienced a lot of
down time, lots of equipment failures, programming problems that were
unresolved and then there were the more traditional coverage issues. These

While this may be true in many instances, the New York State system was

At one time we were a Maxon dealer and the software we got from Maxon would not
work into the GE radio's but the GE radio's were made for them by Maxon. There
was talk of a software that could be mod to work but never seen it.

Chuck / Jim,
Chuck, your last paragraph says it all. THAT'S the bottom line on all of
these new P25/digital voice systems - they are not ready for prime time.
Public Safety radio requires a level of reliability that I don't think ANY
vendor has been able to meet with P25 technology.
You are correct. We now have copies of BOTH the Maxon software AND the GE
software. The GE software requires the parallel port.

I agree entirely on the RF part of your article.
But. Digital modes somehow eliminate feedback? Echo cancelation exists but
a great deal of the time it fails miserably. You end up with
voice-frequency delayed retransmission in the audio which IMHO is harder to

I just acquired a VHF Decibel DB4058N-A Bandpass/Reject duplexer. The
spec sheet says that this is good for a 2MHz split at 86dB isolation.
Does anyone have experience with this duplexer? Can it go to 1MHz or
less split between 147-148MHz with reasonable isolation for a low power
repeater?
From what I'm hearing there is at least one (if not more)
investigations to locate the author of that piece. Several
municipalities are rather upset after having been inundated
with complaints and threats. If he is located he may have
