Wasnt it Motorola's wet dream to get everyone and their brother onto this system, and now they realize that it came true, but aren't prepared for it.

Even if the system and radios are capable of the newer Astro 7.0 software, you know Moto is gonna rape the state with a $10,000 software upgrade per tower, $5,000 per dispatch console and $1,000 per mobile/portable radio, JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN.

They did give out too many talk groups for some counties and agencies, but giving some groups radios, such as schools, is just a waste of $ and resources.
