  5. Presently in Mobile County • Today we have six (6) multi-site, and three (3) simul-cast towers. Today with 54 frequencies, the radio system provides radio coverage for over 5,100 users, 728 talk groups and over 120 agencies. • Daily average usage is about 125,000push-to-talks. System usage has exceeded 275,000 push-to-talks in a single 24-hour period.

Plan for Mobile County • Retune Burns Simulcast System. • Reprogram / replace all radios (Touch 1) • Only eligible radios will be replaced. • Replacing Springhill system with Burns. • Add new frequencies for all sites. • Any radio(s) not reprogramed will be shut off. • Shutdown Springhill System • Use existing repeater and add additional channel capacity for all sites. • Turn on balance of Burns Simulcast System. • Reconfigure all tower sites. • Remove additional capacity. • Reprogram all radios (Touch 2) • Remove old frequencies

  7. Radio Programming Changes • “BURNS” instead of “SPR-HILL” • The Burns simulcast system will replace the Springhill multi-site system. System is made up of three tower sites. Towers located at EMA, Government Plaza, and Hillcrest and Nevius Road. 24 channels instead of 10. • “WEATHER” will be renamed to “EMALERTS”. Receive only. Linked to Emergency Broadcast Service. • “MOWA” and “7-HILLS” systems will be added. • Mobile Washington Band of Choctaw Indians. • 850’ tower located in Southeast Washington County. • Seven Hills • 300’ tower located Jack Hamilton & Jeff Hamilton Rd
