Its happening in 6 phases and they are in phase 2 now almost phase 3, They Bought 1900 APX radios a few months ago but installs are not in progress as of yet. Any new car gets an APX. They are changing out the entire 800 system to make it P25 P2, all new equipment and some new additional sites. The money was allocated for the upgrade almost 2 years ago, I think it was 18 mil.
As for the towns that use CSP and have constables, they have been told of the need to upgrade radios soon and it is on their dime. Some have already switched to APX and some are in progress.
I'm sure they will start mixed FDMA & TDMA to give people time to migrate.
Yes you will need a new radio, unless you have a "newer " model that has Phase 2 P25 capabilities. Now is your chance to grab one relatively cheap. The Pro-668 Radio Shack radio is going for about $200 on eBay and if you are Lucky to find one at a closing Radio Shack, they are selling for $99 for the next 2 days or so.Tell me the bad news now. Are new scanners in order?
