You know for a while there are departments out there saying we have to go P25 digital by this date they is a wrong anwser web site below tells all here is one thing in this mandate
Myth #1: Licensees must implement digital equipment. One common misconception
is that narrowbanding is a requirement to “go digital.” The FCC’s narrowbanding
rules do not dictate that any particular type of equipment modulation be
employed. You may continue to operate analog equipment, even after the January
1, 2013 deadline, provided that your equipment meets the FCC’s narrowbanding
(12.5 kHz) standards. However, you may want to use the FCC’s narrowbanding
requirement as an opportunity to upgrade to digital technology, which is less susceptible
to adjacent-channel interference and offers capabilities not available on
analog systems.
So you can use analog still who and people like chiefs and big brass are pushing this Digital P25 stuff way to far yea it nice be digital but there is NO mandate to switch to P25 digital like Milwaukee, Wisconsin and other department across this land they are saying we have to go digital by this date NO they are just saying your radio's must be Narrowband by January 1, 2013
