System Optimization Report

Motorola engineers have completed their system optimization work on the Dub/Wor simulcast zone. They specifically reviewed system coverage and performance off of the Huntley Bowl tower site. All systems were reported in excellent working condition and functioning without error.

Motorola did specifically test coverage inside Riverside Hospital ER after reports of radios going "out of range" while inside the building. It was discovered that the radios only go "out of range" on the Dub/Wor simulcast zone, but still have service on the Delaware simulcast zone. It is believed that a bi-directional amplifier inside the hospital is rebroadcasting 821 frequencies, but not 806 frequencies, or in some other way interfering with 806 frequencies. Futher investigation by radio staff will attempt to confirm this theory. To immediately resolve the issue, talk-groups WOR DISP, WOR FTAC1, WT ALERT, WT EMS1 and WTEMS2 have been set to roaming so that they will switch zones, if needed, to ensure coverage. This switch is transparent to users.
