Future plans include coverage through Abilene, Snyder, Post, and Lubbock. This system differs from other linked systems in that it designed to completely cover a large area, NOT just include far away places with no communication in between. Our goal is to enable travel from one edge of the system to the other without communication gaps in between. Ideally, the system will allow traveling within at least 150 miles of the metropolitan area and always be able to communicate via an NTCS repeater. Another useful feature is DTMF paging.
Users can both send and receive pages.
Anyone can send pages using DTMF tones. In order to receive pages, the operator must have a radio capable of receiving DTMF pages. Users can choose a personal 3 digit page code for use with the system. A simple user code allows the users to access the page mode and issue pages to other stations system-wide. When the user's radio receives the personal 3 digit code, the radio will pass the audio directed to that person.
