The new 800 MHz radio system designed to blanket the county with 95 percent coverage has a 12-square-mile hole in it. The $8.3 million radio system from Motorola became fully operational in early July and is to be used by first responders with all the agencies in the county. Officials with the Miami County Sheriff’s Office reported to county commissioners at their Nov. 17 study session there is a gap in coverage in the northeast corner of the county. “We have some area up there, 12 square miles, of dead space where we can’t reach our communications at the sheriff’s office,” Sheriff Frank Kelly said.
