[TheList] Government RFP's & Tenders for P25 are out for all emergency services.

Hardly surprising given the latest leaks over in Tasmania and NSW, 
regarding people that called an Ambulance or had the Fire Brigade at 
their house in the last 9 months, had their details put up on a website 
for all to read, some of it was quite sensitive information, like mental 
health stuff.

As much as I hate the idea that my Sel-Call decoder may no longer work, 
Fire & Emergency really needs to get on a better platform than what it 
is currently using.

In the same vein, has anyone here bought a digital scanner, recently, 
that didn't cost them an arm and a leg and their second child as well to 
import here?

Also, if you guys have them, what are you owning?, I can't really see 
F&E going encrypted, I'm pretty sure Ambo's already are, I could be 
wrong too.

I looked at buying a desktop scanner from the US and the more I thought 
about it, it had more cons than pro's, although I could be convinced 
that this could be a thing to do, possibly.

What are you guys thoughts?

Take care,

Mike Trump.
