"The reason for the project? The Federal Communications Commission has informed the township that the agency is claiming Toms River's current radio frequency. That means the township must switch to a new frequency by the end of 2023." 11-22-2022 GTR8000.
Uh, if you're going to quote me, quote the full post in context or link to it. What you're posted there makes it sound like I'm the one who made such an idiotic statement.

Sounds like the PD is running the show which usually means that it will be configured to their whims and desires with little regard for any other public safety "brothers." It always seems to happen that way.
No, nothing has to be forfeited.
If TRFD goes all "E" then they should not rely on any Mutual Aid from NON "E" agencies due to the lack of ability to communicate.
I've always wondered why Police Officers don't die because of "E" but Firefighters will?
Generally its because the agency who controls the system doesn't like to give out the "E" key, especially to a dozen volunteer fire agencies
Have the FD members/leadership relate to township leadership, "If our members can't hear it in the clear, they are more likely to become disenfranchised and/or disconnected. even unaware of ongoing fires/events in a township as large as TR". Volunteer labor costs far less than career. Many times, adjacent companies/mutual aid companies can hear an incident and start heading to their stations anticipating a possible response. When I grew up in northern Bergen County, if a neighboring town got banged out for a W/F, I would non-emergency head to my station as would others. If/When called for M/A, that vital first responding engine or truck was moving instantly versus Plectron. whistle, respond...adding 5-10 minutes when help is crucial to mitigate fire growth.
Oh, I have a G5 too, I didn't know I could track a system with it
