I was sitting at work playing with one of our new $3,000 trunked radios and 
was disappointed in the audio quality.  It sounds like people talking with 
their mouths full and their head in a trash can.  On the Montgomery system 
there's a patch between the 800 and VHF so that could help explain part of 
it.  I was listening to both VHF & 800 at the same time and the audio quality 
on VHF is far superior.

So I flipped over a few zones to DC, Fairfax, Frederick, & Loudon.  Same 
garbage.  The best quality signal seemed to coming from Arlington's radio 
system.  I hope the audio gets better in the future.  If this is what 
millions of dollars gets you, we got ripped.
