Hi Jay fancy meeting you here!

Yes I was amazed to see that we were using "analog scanners" for
communications... pretty neat trick huh!?  Actually we have remained on =
our
UHF Med Channels and VHF assignments for the time being.  We are =
currently
reviewing all options for replacement of our current equipment, but no
decision has yet been made.

As far as APCO 25, I'm not sure.  I was at a meeting today of the
Multi-Agency Communications Partnership and didn't think to ask.  I have
seen that question before and will try to find out, as I too am =
interested
in Uniden's new scanner if it will received Allen Co/Fort Wayne's new
system.  If I find out, I'll let the list know.
