Here in Chattanooga, Motorola has told us exactly the same thing they've told Memphis. And since we're still using an analog, type 2 system, Motorola have suggested we upgrade to a P25 system, in order to maintain future support with them. So these upgrades aren't only affecting systems like Memphis, but all systems that are analog type 2. And it's amazing to Chattanoogans that Moto can do this, when our city-county government have recently become a fully utilized system.
I am glad that Memphis will eventually be monitorable by digital scanners and I'm interested to see how the upgrade will unfold.
