I'm well aware of the communication system...

Cold, you do realize that most of those radios are handheld and not installed in a vechile? Most of those people are talking from their personal vechiles not from an emergency vechile when it comes to fire and rescue.

Just wait til the charges are dropped, then people will really see what a backwoods rubetown this is.

Can you imagine how bad the work environment at the ACSO must be to cause a 20yr. veteran to resign?

I am all for the DA charging him, and soon. Much of this mess can be laid at his door. Bufurt is too clueless to have made this mess by himself.

Kind of proves that Rickey was behind all the firings when bufurt was there. Remember I said it was dangerous to leave Rickey running the sheriffs department but there is little that can be done unless he is charged and removed.

Again, I will say it.... Buchanan isn't there. Ricky is and he is still running the place into the ground.

Listen to county LEO/FD communications sometime. It's piss poor to say the least. EMS seems to fair well.

It was never a problem before the Buchanan Clan got involved.

To get quality installation on today's technological radios, it makes common sense to have the seller install them. Alot of radio manufactures will not warranty their radios if not installed by their trained techs. So sure send them out of county to have the work done is the obvious choice.

Captain said a couple deputies used to install the radios in the vehicles. I wonder if they are still employed at the ACSO or if Buchanan or Clayton ran them off?

The fire department has remained silent on the matter of the funds he borrowed. Has he repaid the funds?

Was there ever an issue with Welch's work? The problem Im aware of was with his not bidding radio sales for the VFD and writing himself a check. This alone wouldnt have been much of an issue. But combined with his "loan" and "salary" from the VFD were the issues.

Mr.Clodhopper

Posted 7:28 am, 01/15/2018

So what do you propose Captain, we let Welch and Winters start handing the county radio system again?

Just goes to show you can not trust anything that comes from the ACSO these days.

Frequencies don’t make a signal digital. Most frequencies can have both analog and digital signals overlapping without problem. When the digital TV sunset finally happened, the FCC auctioned off the analog licenses that they had just taken back from broadcasters. Interestingly enough, a large number of these licenses were bought by google for reasons they didn’t even know yet. They planned to most likely use these linceses for wiresless data. As far as I know, they’ve never done anything with these licenses.

But more on topic to local needs. Digital is not automatically better than analog. While digital signals result in a clear transmission if you get enough signal, the down side is if you don’t get enough over the threshold, you get no transmission. Also, analog signals travel farther. They also go around and through objects better.
