  7. Maxed Out : I can see how the system can be maxed out. It doesn't matter how many talk groups there are between Fire, EMS,Tactical and Operations. In the north system all those talk groups only have 5 frequencies to share (plus the control freq). It would seem that when major events happen, I'm sure there will be more than 5 people wanting to talk at the same time no matter what talk group they are in. Worse, the busses are using the system for normal use. And worse again, I have heard north system simulcasts onto the south and vica-versa. Now the north is tying up frequencies in the south and vica-versa, giving less chance for an open frequency. CTchaz
