You also might not have caught the error in the following
paragraph from the story:

"Technically speaking, the process began in 1995. That's when the
federal government mandated that all first responder radio systems
convert from "broadband" transmissions, covering 25 megahertz of
the available electromagnetic spectrum, to "narrowband"
transmissions within 12.5 megahertz of spectrum."

I think they reallly meant kilohertz, not megahertz.
