County officials are reviewing options to correct a 800 MHz radio system coverage gap in the northeast corner of the county. 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. Law enforcement and emergency management officials reported Nov. 17 there is a 12-square-mile section of “dead space” in the northeast, as well as some possible coverage lapses in the southwest and west-central parts of the county. It appears that missing data from the radio testing period could be responsible for some of problem, officials said.
