the county system is a multisite smartzone 800 system
the county tech told me that he has problems with east county sheriffs that live in the west site area, leave for work from home and turn thier radios on while in the west zone, cause the system to then rebroadcast thier dispatch channels on the east onto the west system for 4 hours, thus tieing up a west site channel every time east dispatch keys up.
my thought is this, ok this 900 smartzone system has about 8 sites scattered around 17 countys. my thought is this, say that a truck from county a in the south end travells to the north end, 17 countys away, and keys up his radio, the system wiuld then, rebroadcast his south dispatch up to the north end for 4 hours......
lett me wrap this up, say you live in the north end, and want to use a moto radio as a scanner, knowing it will affilliate when you turn it on, whats to say that if you knew a south county unit id, and had it in your motorola scanner, that when the moto scanner turns on, then affilliates BINGO!, the system thinks its got a south county unit in the north end, and start rebroadcasting the south channel that you want to hear, 4 hours at a time.
in theory i think this is possible, but in reality of course its not possible unless someone had the approval of the system owner and have them set it up
