concord nh fd input channel listed

https://forums.radioreference.com/threads/capital-area-fire-dispatch-going-to-repeater.495569/page-2 always always amazes me how many anti-scanner people hang out at radio reference if they arent bitching about input channels they are bitching about streaming apparently they have not noticed that rrdb has been listing input channels for 50 years - as has the FCC brain dead fools clogging up the forums with their BS LB already banned the harping about scanner feeds - maybe he will ban the harping about input channels also note - it is a SYNCHRONIZED simulcast system also note - simplex is not the same as talkaround or direct - ask any telephone repairman what the difference is between simplex and duplex - sorta - more or less - ish - not worth arguing over - just saying
