yes thats what i meant thankstbendick said:When you say handheld, you mean fireground communications? If so, nothing will change and it will stay as is.
Dont know who said it but yes the FDNY will be using UHF for operations I believe they are going to still use the VHF system for initial dispatch and response and operations for Fire and EMS will be on Analog UHF simulcast conventional (there is no "standardized" mixed mode conventional simulcast offered from moto however there are SP configs) ... The trunked system and conventional systems are being built side by side at each site... I believe the trunked system will be mixed mode and will be used for admin uses such as inspections and day to day ops.

Digital on the other hand will only allow the first caller's voice through and the other callers message is lost.
