>The radio system is so old, Masteller said, that parts are no longer made for it. His department had to turn to hand-me-downs from other cities to make repairs. Presently, he said, the only service provider he’s found is in France.<
Wow! Only in France? Yeah, right!
>“There are only two or three years left for the radios,” he said. “If the SPLOST doesn’t pass, what are we going to do?”<
You can always revert back to a VHF or UHF system.
If the providers of P25 TRS didn't charge soooo much, maybe more jurisdictions could afford it.
