This story on Channel 7 says the Motorola Astro radios that the Los
Angeles Police Dept. uses are 14 years old, out of production, and
becoming unreliable. The LAPD has its eye on a new radio, but it costs
$3400. Replacing 10,000 Astros will be expensive. No decision has been
made yet.

$3400 for a basic APCO-25 radio? I don't think so. Buy a P-25 radio from
Kenwood or one of the other competitors and save $2K each.

Thats what happens when you get overzealous salesmen and uninformed
politicians (or others) footing the bill. They take for granted - the
Sellers/Installers first price. I've seen it happen here far too often.
