[TrunkCom] JIWN

[Arthur-Bryan E. Phelps]

I cannot really answer your question, Jeff. But your original post
referenced a possible effect on local LE entities. The answer to that
question is "most likely no". This is a federal initiative. Dave is correct
in his analysis of the architecture of such an endeavor. Although government
agencies are purchasing standard P25 systems and pro-voice and whatever, I'm
certain by 2021 the technology available will raise the bar on anything that
exists today. Relax a bit. This is government, remember. Nothing is carved
in stone.

Hi Dave and the group.  What is the P-25 JIWN system on the west coast in
Oregon and Washington being used for then?  I had always wondered when it
would be expanded to the rest of the country.
