Thanks!

Thanks for all of the information you are able to provide. It gives an interesting insight into what is going on.
Just wondering, and you may or may not know, but why did they issue you guys P7200 portables? By M/A Coms specs, it seems like the P5100 would have been a better option, having VHF/UHF/800 analog/digital modes all in one, versus the 7200 which is P25/700/800...but then again, Eglin uses P25 so might have played a small role in it. In addition it has 700Mhz capability that the 5100 doesn't. Just speculating.
Why they put fire on we may never know. It's not like the VHF was overused. The patching could still be done to the 800 system in the same manner it is being done now, if it needed to be for disasters or multi agency response.
