[Scan-DC] pure speculation

[John Bacon]

I would agree with that statement. If you dont have an 800 radio interop 
goes out the door. For instance in Massachusetts there are 351 citys and 
town. And out of all of them how many use 800 Most of the cape and a few 
towns that use the State Police System. And when Mass go the grand for the 
ICall radios who got them BOSTON citys who alreadt have BAPEREN and METRO 
Fire so the 800 radios should have went to towns that would have use for 
them. Not Boston Towns who have semi-interop. Ok I'm sorry for the rampage. 
But INTEROP is useless unless there are people who are willing to make a 
LINK system but then get shot down casue of RIVALARY with some political 
push.
