[FedCom] CAP going P25

[Ken]

I'd imagine that these are the 5300 series radios (see: 
http://www.efji.com/news_pop_up.asp?ArticleID=157)
Storage, distribution, & initial programming of the radios probably will 
take place at CAP's National Technology Center
(see: https://ntc.cap.af.mil/whatis.htm)

Additionally CAP was authorized $8 million for purchase of new aircraft 
(Cessna 172's, 182's, 206's).
(see: 
http://www.house.gov/apps/list/press/ks04_tiahrt/morenews/06212006_DefenseHouse.html)

BTW ALL the new Civil Air Patrol frequencies are publically available today 
with appropriate web searching -- but ya gotta get em quick!!!

Good Luck!!!

Ken
