Silent Key
Some Pa State senators call the current State Police Open Sky radio system a waste of up to a billion dollars.
Fast forward to this year and the issues are still not resolved. State officials in the early 2000's decided against a project which works with all systems, Project 25 "modulation". Instead they picked the Open Sky system which only work with equipment supplied by one company. No possible way to have other radio companies bid on the replacement radios.
Interesting testimony on 1 hour and 30 minutes and again at one hour and 50 minutes.
