Reading all of the comments is very entertaining, but all of then seem to miss the central point.  Centralized trunking in FCC VHF spectrum, compliant with the requirements of 47 CFR 90.187, even in Nevada?  I THINK NOT!!!!!!!!

I guess the approach in NV must have been a recognition of the difficulties associated with 47 CFR 90.187, and a realization that one VHF licensee, even if it is the State Patrol, can't force other relevant co-channel and adjacent channel licensees to agree to a centralized trunking proposal.  Sooooooooooo, I guess you just operate in an unlicensed manner until such time as someone complains, and that someone can also make the FCC listen.

Politics, probably yes, but so what??  Should somebody go to jail?  Maybe yes for some violation of NV law, but definitely yes for a brazen disregard of FCC rules?  Maybe we just let the citizens of NV settle this in the "Old West" way?

 As an aside - 54 VHF freqs in the LV area? Probably yes, but do they comply with the requirements of 47 CFR 90.187?  Very likely NOT?  Also, isn't it highly inappropriate and potentially libelous to be naming names in a public fora?

This whole sordid mess doesn't pass the smell test, no matter how you look at it.  Shame on the officials in NV for not asking the very simple questions, way back when, that could have avoided most of this pain and suffering.  The really sorry part is the fact the citizens of NV are footing the bill for the possible criminality and certainly grossly negligent behavior of their elected and/or civil service employees.
