Fire Departments in my local area are displeased with the digital systems I have read reports where the roaring noise of a fire in the back ground disrupted the communications resulting in casualties.
The town I live in rolled back from a 800mhz apco p25 back to their analog VHF system.

Hello Group, As P25 is being rolled out worldwide, I have been hearing many stories regarding P25 shortcomings. ..Such as Vocoder problems in high noise situations, "Jitter" and "Multipath" issues from users that have converted from their legacy Analog systems, etc . The repeater issues (If any) are especially interesting for me, and would be very interested in hearing feedback from my colleagues from around the globe. Best regards to all Gareth Bennett
