[FedCom] Where Has Customs Gone?

Sat, 28 Dec 2002 09:54:55 -0500

As someone who deals with many of these Federal agencies from time-time in
my F/T job, I have only seen the migration to Nextel as an Alternative to
Verizon and CellularOne in the Major Metro Areas.

The agencies are still maintaining and using their Normal VHF and UHF Radio
equipment, however the Nextel does make it a little easier for the Cellular
as well as the Direct Connect features at times, but Alas we have no fear
(atleast in Boston, from my perspective) of loosing the ability to monitor
our Favorite Alphabet Soups.

ASTRO is a different issue.
