The Minnesota Highway Patrol in some of the areas outside the Minneapolis/St. Paul Metro Area, may have digital radios in the cars.

There has been a decrease in the traffic on the District 2100's dispatch frequency 154.920. Follows the same pattern as the Metro Area before it was fully in place.

A few cities and counties in the 2100 area are waiting to jump on the MN Digital System. Rochester and Olmsted County are the leader's of the pack in the 2100 area. In Olmsted County, the funds are easier to obtain.
Out in the other counties, such as Dodge, Filmore and Wasbaha the funds will be harder to obtain.
