So Glenn posts the new FCC stuff to NWSCAN
(http://gmitch86.home.comcast.net/quick.htm)

This week there was lots of new WSP stuff. What's up with Bellevue getting 460.125, 460.25, 460.475 and Chelan Co. getting 47.74, .78 and 86.

Somebody tell me again what the 453/458 .475 and .925 are use for now.

Probably the MCN?? My guess.

:? Whats MCN?? :shock:

I believe it stands for Mobile Computer Network....same as MDT. The MCN network is way outdated, and is slow. As long as we are on this topic has any one heard of the progresss on the MCN network WSP was proposing for Douglas, Chelan, Kittitas, Okanogan, and Grant Co?

Ture that...

One of the Bellevue troopers I spoke to recently said that many of the computers they use in the vehilce are WAY old and still using Windows 3.1!

I know when I lived in Moses Lake in the mid late 80's, they were using 453.475 as a mobile extender. That was back in the days when they didn't have a repeater on their area frequency. The 453 frequency was repeated and sometimes you could hear them on that when you couldn't hear them on the VHF area frequency. I know now, at least in the Sno/King County areas, that they have Palm Pilots and can pull information up on those. Had a guy I work with tell me how he watched a Troop run a registration on a vehicle from one! Maybe the new UHF freqs are tied to the Palm Pilots!?

I don't think they're actually Palm-brand devices, but I never heard who the final vendor was going to be. The state is going to a new electronic citation system called E-Trip. With the handheld device, they will be able to call up your vehicle and driver information to enter onto a citation form, select the proper RCW(s) to charge the violator with, and it will be printed out in their vehicle to hand to you. It is then transmitted into the court system, and ultimately, to DOL to go onto your record (depending on what happened at court). This should significantly reduce the number of unreadable citations, poor spelling, and missing information. People think that doctors have lousy handwriting. I have handled thousands of citations, and believe me, cops can out-do them any day. The project is being tested now in limited areas, and agencies are not going to be forced to participate, which means there will still be areas issuing the multicopy carbon-style citations. I don't know what frequencies the vendor is using for their handheld-to-mobile link, the mobile-to-court connection, or how often the data is transmitted from the vehicle, but I would imagine it has some form of security/encryption.

Every one of the things I've seen and/or used was a Blackberry running on either the Cingular or Next-hell networks.

Bunnery definition for the under-fives

'Okagnogan' is a repeater now. I think the in is 154.845. Simulcast with Slate peak repeater.
Hey, we ought to update 'our' data.??!!

it is actually 154.68 I don't have the input off hand. I know during a complex fire near Walla Walla about 2002, I heard a 453 vehicle repeater operating and it was left in scan mode which made for some interesting listening.

Okanogan Input - 159.045 / Output-154.680 / Tone 123.0

So is anyone hearing use of the car repeater in their area?

I think most of them are MCN use, I hear the data bursts occasionally. I haven't seen just a straight UHF 1/4 wave on the rear trunk in a long time. Cars in the Tri-Cities have a second VHF quarter wave for wireless mic recording.
