[Scan-DC] Is PG County Upgrading?

[Frank Carson]

The officers who have the Motorola radios also still have the GE MR-K
radios.  The Motorola ones are in the
car and have no portables so we keep the GEs as our portables.  We're issued
a desk charger and an extra battery
for the portables.  The MR-K radios aren't even made anymore, and we still
have some of the old GE MPS radios
out there.  One word - money.  Ok, three words, really - lack of money.  Oh,
yeah, poor logic...
However, I will say that the in car chargers for the MR-K portables were
cheap junk that you had to keep
fixing.  The Motorola radios are nice - I can talk with MPDC, Greenbelt City
and Laurel City right now and
more are planned.  Though, I haven't run into a need to talk to any of those
agencies yet...
