RE: [californiadisasters] Re: Acom System Chosen for L.A. Co's New Metro Fire Comm Center

APCO works ok, there are some flaws in it, but mostly it works.  It’s expensive, easily overcome with traffic if careful planning (channels) isn’t in place.  There are a couple safety concerns too for the users.

 

To put a complete P25 (APCO) system in for NYC would easily exceed $1B.  Nobody can afford that these days so they glue pieces together and manage.

 

I’ve used Kenwood gear at work (when I was there); it’s the same good quality, but built tougher than the ham gear (I have a bunch of that here).

Never used Kenwood commercial equipment but their Amateur Radio stuff is great.
