P25 will dominate in NSW for many years to come. Simple. Finally somebody talking reality! P25 is here to stay for a long time. I could have sworn this thread was about TETRA in the UK.

That is OK if you have the infrastructure to support both... out west there wasn't & I think the rest of the networks will be upgraded the same way- FRNSW have the ability to keep parts of the old network live while updating sites but it is tricky. Plods can do things differently because they often ...
