Motorola rolled out its new "portable" antenna system which mounts to any type of apparatus, usually engines or chief's vehicles. They unveiled this system literally right after they were blasted for the failing of their radios in the 9/11 World Trade Center disaster. Remember, Motorola has a history of "underestimating" the amount of antennas needed for their system to work properly.  Just ask Montgomery County,MD. The "fix" usually means millions more.


Actually, history has shown, that Motorola normally specs the right
amount of towers, but the purchaser wants to cut back.

Arkansas State of springs to mind.....
