From October through December of 2007, Kimball & Associates conducted a thorough review of the County’s existing voice and data systems, including the 800 MHz trunked radio system owned jointly by the Pennsylvania State University and the Borough of State College. A strategic radio plan was submitted to the Centre County Commissioners and presented to the public on April 18, 2008. The 141-page report includes the major findings and recommendations of the future communications system for Centre County. The report includes details on existing coverage inadequacies, lack of interoperability with surrounding counties and other agencies, additions of desired features such as digital quality audio, location tracking and mapping, mobile data, over-the-air encryption re-keying, over-the-air subscriber reprogramming, and effective voice encryption.

it seems to be that there is not a whole lot of interest in convention anymore. not alot of buzz about it as there was in the years past. used to be the thing to do each august it got talked up and the stories of the past conventions started to fly. then all the nonsense started the "trouble makers" started to show up....and 9 out of 10 times there not even in the fire dept there locals. i surely hope that the membership of the convention stays strong. there are alot of memories that will never be forgotten and hopefully there will be many more to make......would like to know how you feel about convention
