Heh, well there is a line between "state of the art" and insanely expensive. Is this Nextel system they're on the usual group talk capable Nextel direct-connect? I am assuming so. If that is the case, they don't have to maintain licenses and equipment and being over the GSM network, the transmissions are digital, so why do you need P-25? They also don't have to worry about people scanning their conversations.
