sounds like they went with DVRS and not moving to RISCON full time
from the story
"Anderson said Cumberland Fire has had communication dead spots in buildings, but with the digital vehicle repeaters inside apparatus, the portable radio will talk to the truck and the truck will then transmit out at a higher power. Radios are being upgraded from ones received in 2004 and 2005, he told The Breeze."
