Nevada Highway Patrol's new radio system borked
Last year I revealed that the Nevada Highway Patrol (NHP) faced huge fines after breaching RF regulations.
That led to a race against time to institute a system to replace the illegal one the NHP was using. It also prompted an investigation but the NHP got off scot free after the $28 million foul up.
However, the system that was supposed to save the NHP's butt has proved to be less a panacea than a pain, reports the Reno Gazette Journal .
The problem is that the new system means troopers lose contact with the dispatchers creating "blind spots" with the cops not even knowing if their radios are working or not.
After last year's big boo-boo, the State paid $10 million to buy 1,800 new radios, compatible with legal systems.
But all is not fine and dandy down in Reno - the place where I got divorced from Adamson Rust, by the bye, and now the functionaries are scrabbling to sort out the latest SNAFU.
Sheesh kebab! µ
