We currently use the MPSCS System, however in our center last night our radio gave us a STE TRNK error, anyone know what this means???

This is just out of curiousity

Site trunking. Means in a smartzone system, the site has lost contact with the others.

Any idea how the sites are tied together?

Tis the right time of year for microwave fading especially with the warm days and cool nights.

If a SmartZone system goes into Site Trunking on any zone or site, the system controller should have logged the event with a pretty good clue as to why that state was entered.

It's good to have a system go into site trunking or fail soft every once in a while, It helps educate the users to that mode of operation and what to do in that situation.
Every time a site goes into site trunking (either as a planned event, or not) we get many calls about it.
