Just heard a NYSP (3F57) car calling out of service with a POST id....which is strange as i always thought they were PRE maybe one of them new fangled radios...ehhhh
My understanding is that it is being changed from "key" to "unkey" so Troopers don't have to wait for the PTT tone. It probably also works out better with the vehicle repeater; the Trooper on the portable wouldn't be able to hear a PTT tone.

yessir! and this is a HUGE change in the way NYSP does business, actually. this whole radio upgrade is going to be nothing but growing pains. compound this with the move away from the old NYSPIN application to the new E-Justice system and you'll likely get an earful from a Trooper.
I see your point..When you are calling for help you don't want to wait for the PTT ID.
Yes it DOES suck! But then again they all have the "emergency button" - but that still sucks because you have to try to block punches for a couple/three seconds while one hand/arm is busy!
