After working with the new system for only about 7 hours now, I think its a huge improvement! Crystal clear transmissions, and very easy to use- with a lot of those "why didn't they think of that before" features.

For those of you wondering what we got... Its what Motorola calls an "ASTRO® 25 Mission Critical Integrated Voice and Data Network." Consoles operate the MCC 7500 Elite software, Mobiles are XTL 2500, and Portables are XTS 2500.
