Are there any conventional radio channels provided for interoperability in STARS?
Yes. First, locality interface radio channels are provided for localities operating on conventional radio channels. In addition, agency interface radio channels are provided for agencies continuing to use existing legacy conventional radio systems. The locality and agency interface radio channels will be connected to VSP dispatchs consoles. The VSP dispatchers can connect a locality or agency interface channel to a STARS talk group when needed to provide a communications link between STARS users and users operating outside of STARS.
