Don't know if this means Marietta PD will be switching to MARCS-IP; however, it does say that the new radios will be digital. Is $18,000 enough to switch to radios capable of operating on MARCS-IP? I have no idea how much those radios cost. The price does include a rebate for the trade-in of the current radios.
