Probably a catch-22 of building the number of sites they can afford, but people don't join because of a lack of coverage.

Interoperability between agencies and all of the other P25 stuff is nice, but every little town can't afford it and that's why we still have little dispatch centers that represent small communities and make use of regular old analog VHF. Plus, a lot of users on the state system say the coverage sucks, and that would be Motorola not building enough sites.
