Heard today from a reliable source - a battalion chief in a neighboring department - that Richmond EDACS will be gone Feb 2011 and moving onto the new EBRCS. This comment came as he showed off his new APX 7000; point being that the P25 capable radio would be able to interop with Richmond FD. His home system, while trunked, is not P25 and likely won't be anytime soon. While he specifically said that EDACS would gone, there was no specific word on Richmond PD, or other PDs, as to their movement onto EBRCS.
Beautiful radio, by the way....
