PS to Dave - Have you heard anything as to whether or not CFD / EMS are planning on using / trying the Digital UHF City new T-Band stuff at the show this year?

The last few "major events", most activity has been on EMS-Command and EMS Special Events. I've heard the reason for this is not enough "digital capable" radios available. We were using the old Sabres at the Taste of Chicago this year. It's my understanding they're being reprogrammed. However, their is a plan to start converting EMS over to digital soon.

The clime was remarkable cool yesterday, not at all as hot as predicted.
