As I was enjoying listening to the City of Santa Clara on their SVRCS, it occurred to me that the city was one of the first South Bay cities to push the technological envelope and move to a P25 Phase 2 system.
...and then I remembered that Santa Clara was one of the first (only?) municipalities in the south bay to use an 800MHz Type II system.
So it made me wonder... There are more populous cities (e.g. San Jose) and there are more affluent cities (Palo Alto, Mountain View). Is there something special about the City of Santa Clara that motivates them to invest in the latest technology?
