This year, Pennsylvania expects to finish building a $368 million radio system -- a process that has dragged on since 1996 -- even as New York last week killed a similar system over questions whether it will work.
Some Pennsylvania lawmakers also say the technological advances of the past 10 years may have made the system for emergency responders, which is now in partial use, obsolete.
"It's never acceptable for any public-safety project to take 10 years," said state Sen. Kim Ward, R-Westmoreland, who serves on the Communications and Technology Committee and the Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee

Politicians complain about radio problems when they hear about issues. They have NO IDEA of the technical side--otherwise they would have insisted on a P25 system, where everyone can talk to everyone (simplix) WITHOUT a lot of additional hardware.
