Hey guys sorry for the delay in reply! love all the feedback! As far as radios go I know alot of agencies that are transitioning to the APX line for radios I know several agencies that have already but I also know alot of agencies that still are running XTS 2500/5000 radios and our agency believe it or not has XTS3000 which are flashed for 9600 and are doing the current 3600 but our mobiles are still MCS2000. Now there are a ton of agencies that are still using MTS/MCS2000 and alot of that switch is going to fall upon those agencies to invest in the newer radios. As far as encryption we have channels on the SZ system that are already encrypted so I assume that those will stay encrypted on the new system but as far as anyone adding more channels to be encrypted I really cant say that they will or wont to be honest I dont think that they will, maybe a few OPS or SWAT channels, but not their main COMS though(at least I hope not). So as far as I know having talked to someone directly from UCA they have bid out on the project to Motorola and Harris and they should have a answer in OCT-NOV as to who will win that bid and start constructing their new system. As far as the system itself, it will be phase 2 with backwards compatibility(phase 1) for the first 5 years til all users have APX model radios then it will be fully phase 2 only at that time, so in short in 5 to possibly 7 years UCA will be fully phase 2.
