The EPS are doing what they refer to as a "huge computer upgrade.". Anybody have any knowledge about this, specifically whether or not it will effect their analog radio communication?

I would call it huge if all the MWS units had to be taken out and new ones re-installed. This is a CAD upgrade in comms and every MWS had to be re-programmed in the cars. When it started comms was in complete manual mode recording stuff on slips of paper. When they got to going a little better every call was still dispatched by voice. There is the odd glitch even now but it seems to be working well. It was a big learning curve for all using the new system.
