Anyone else have any info/rumours on changes coming to RCMP radio comms in the next year? I understand the install of 800 (yes, eight HUNDRED) car radios and other associated gear will be going on over the next year starting in October and running to September 2007... This is just for the Edmonton and Calgary post garages. 800 seems way more than could be accounted for through attrition of vehicles, and sounds more like a complete fleet equipment upgrading/replacement to me.
