Sounds like some lobbyist has twisted the arms of legislators so they can 
make "obsolete" the old radios by a "regulation".  You can bet it means 
money in  someone's pocket!

I remember when they did the same thing to the 23 channel CB radio.  Once 
they came out with the 40 channel ones, you couldn't legally sell a new, 
never been sold before, 23 channel set.
