Thing is, the new stuff is pretty much disposable and not meant for the 20 year lifespan of the Motrac or Micor era. Compare a top end radio like an XTL5000, to a simple 4-freq PL Micor. Price tags are pretty close until you factor in inflation.

A competing dealer is telling everyone they have to be using digital by 2013. Yes, of course it's a lie, but they no doubt make more on digital systems than they do analog. On the larger scope, I can't wait to hear the uproar when/if the FCC tells everyone who just purchased new SNFM equipment that they have to buy new equipment AGAIN. Joe M.
