    Compact high-gain wideband antenna for BCD436HP work well in urban area?

    Hi RR, About half a year back, picked up the BCD436HP and really love its functions, but I've noticed the factory antenna is kinda bad. So I got a few different antennas, two of which were from AECreative and quickly realize how terrible their quality. The high-gain telescopic antenna from...

    Toronto Fire P25 Timeline

    Is there a time line yet as to when we can expect to see TFS do a full move to the Toronto P25 system? I ask as it is in the 700MHz and if I were to buy an XTS 2500 for 800MHz I believe the new 700MHz P25 system would be out of band.
