[FedCom] Fleet Week in NYC May 24-30

[B52hbuff]

Just wanted you to clarify your post below.  Do you 
really mean that DoD is dumping 406-420 band TRUNKING 
for SIMPLEX?  If so, I really wonder what the big 
problem is that they are walking away from this 
mode/band??

As an FYI, in my area, Travis is going strong with 
their P-16/digital system.  Beale is just starting to 
get their 400MHz TRS online.  Edwards is another P-
16/digital 400MHz trunking.

I have seen reports that March ARB in Riverside is 
just rolling out a P-25 VHF system.

Anyway, the point is that it is pretty amazing to me 
to beleive that DoD is really dumping servicible 
400MHz trunked radios...


I want to also remind those in range of fleet week we 
are in the process of 
dumping all the 406-420 MHz systems on board US Navy 
ships, and at quite a 
few DoD installations for brand new trunk systems, 
conventional (simplex) 
frequencies, and repeater systems in the 380-400 MHz 
DoD LMR subband.
