Peoria County Illinois ETSB (P25)
From The RadioReference Wiki
COPURS (County Of Peoria Unified Radio System) is an eleven-site, 800 MHz Harris P25 Simulcast system being implemented by the Peoria County ETSB. There are 700 MHz frequencies licensed for use, but not as simulcast frequencies. The name "COPURS" is not an official name; the ETSB has not selected a name at this time. That name is only being advocated by this Wiki contributor.
Site work and towers are complete for the six new COPURS tower sites. The other five simulcast sites are located on existing vertical real estate. The new microwave system connecting the sites and PSAPs is still under construction.
Field coverage testing should be in early 2014. The first public safety agencies will transition to COPURS after that testing is complete and successful. The Emergency Telephone System Board (ETSB) anticipates most public safety agencies in Peoria County will migrate to this system during 2014.
