This article in the Washington Post describes how US Capitol Police and US Park Police police are facing difficulties in coverage and reliability with their antiquated radio systems.
Another setup for a money grab. Funny how radio systems work fine until it's time to ask the people to open their wallets. Then there are nothing but horror stories. How did they survive all these years?
You always gotta make your system look bad and out dated ...I am sure it has problems but I think there are better ways to use those funds...........Like the small town sheriffs dept still using low band ....
