What do I need to buy?

With the upcoming mandatory switch to Narrowband, a 5 year plan is being put into effect beginning 1 Jan 97. We will be required to go to Narrowband (12.5 KHz) by 2008. System Saber Portable and Trunked Spectra Mobiles are not narrowband capable.

 

In addition, by the time narrowband comes into effect, the system may have been converted from AMSS to SmartZone. All radios purchased need to have this in mind when ordering. Remember, all portables listed here are capable of Flash Port programming, so upgrade to SmartZone if needed can be accomplished without the purchase of a new radio.

 

The following is a list of equipment that is recommended for purchase to comply with the future system needs and expansion.

*Note: All prices are estimated as of 1 Oct 96 and are subject to change without notice.
