I refer to them as Moneyrola. The emergency services feel their bite every time

I developed an interface to a Motorola Centracom Gold system close to 20
years ago. It was challenging to say the least.

When Schuylkill said they were going to use a Centracom system I asked
if they were planning to buy it on eBay because Motorola had moved on to
the shiny new Project 25 stuff.

I imagine there are some agencies that really are scouring eBay to keep
their gear running.

What a deal! Yeah, I'm sure there are, the county had a problem with one of
their repeaters and had to scrounge.

I remembered the s/w they used awhile ago it was Intergraph.

I wonder what their next whiz bang stuff will be to "upgrade" P25 phase II ?
