Leifer said eschewing digital and P25 in general would cause public safety to lose features such as directed unit-to-unit call, call check and call alert and others. “These features, which would be useful in a multiagency interoperability environment, would not be available using analog FM,” Leifer said.
B.S! We do this with analog all the time. MDC and the use of other PL tones and tac channels. Maybe not private but since people have scanners.. This is the kind of stuff I always use to call out the instructors at the Motorola classes.
Who uses Icalls? Probably the most underused feature right next to TMS.....
And on top of that... really? Interop?
I'm gonna know that radio ID 78574236 is the guy I need to speak to, in the middle of a hectic scene, amongst a multi-agency response?
In the everlasting words of Robin Williams..."Yeah right, F#(& OFF!"
