I was surprised not to see this posted here yet:
Clark County voters will be asked next April to add another 0.1 percent to the sales tax to replace the county's emergency radio system.
The county's 800-megahertz radio system is slightly more than 10 years old, but it will be obsolete in about five years as part of the nationwide conversion from analog to digital technology. After December 2012, Motorola will no longer manufacture replacement parts to keep the current system operating.

Gasoline, medicine, food, survival vs new government toys.
Clark County folks: You just might consider saving your pennies now for an APCO-25 capable trunking scanner.
To the Columbian: It's not a nationwide conversion to digital coming,
it's a nationwide conversion to narrowband.
