P25 Phase II is rolling out in my area and I'm trying to figure out how to proceed here...
First, I currently have a P7200 without Phase II. I would need to get the firmware updated but I will have to send it off as I have RPM 9. The question is once it is upgraded, will this unit be able to be programmed for P25 Phase II via RPM 9? Or do I have to upgrade RPM too?
Second, I might have the opportunity to get a P5500 already with Phase II. Once I get this radio, same question raised above. Can I contumely to use RPM 9 or do I have to upgrade RPM?
Ultimately, I just need a radio with EDACS Provoice and P25 Phase I & II trunking and would like to continue to program it with RPM 9, if possible. I also heard the newer RPM requires system keys even if programming the radio to not-affiliate. Any ideas Harris gurus?
Thanks in advance.
