Steve, a.k.a. "SIDE TRACK ALWAYS" or Dispatcher STA in the Spring Dispatchers Office on the Eureka, Palastine and Hearne Subs., says and it is very true. Digital will NOT work on the current R.R. radio system that is in place now. It works great for cell phones, but you have a Cell Tower about a mile or two apart everywhere for it to work. The same will be for the R.R.'s he says if they should ever decide and/or are forced to go to Digital Communications.

In the Meantine, Narrowband is a joke to me, you are still going to have the bleedover problems that were always encounterd with wide band, I don't care what anybody says. The lower modulation associated with Narrowband to me is too quiet.
