Requirement

I like the news women say this (They're digital and help the departments follow a new federal requirement that will go into effect next year.) Find me the requriement somwhere i been looking all I could find is a narrowband mandate by 01/01/2013. WOW that go 4 radio there going to need more than that I bet you there will be million of department will still be on ANALOG years from now the fcc said in there narrowband writing saying you DO NOT HAVE TO GO DIGITAL you can still use ANALOG even after the 2013 mandate your radio must be narrowband.
