On the Evening Sun website, Joseph Denilein has a story on public safety communications problems might be endemic to digital systems.
York County isn't the only place that has been having problems with a digital radio system.
Such systems have been failing from Virginia, to California to Canada, according to a weblog compiled by a California telecommunications entrepreneur that lists 79 links to different news reports and other documents concerning problems with digital radio systems. The reports, listed by Daryl Jones on his site blog.tcomeng.com, date back to 2002.
"There are a sufficient number of stories to establish reasonable doubt as to the suitability of these systems," Jones writes. "In fact, there is a clear pattern that would cause a reasonable and prudent person to entertain a strong and honest suspicion as to the suitability of this technology for mission-critical public safety radio communication."
