Chuck,
There is a phase1 and phase2 version of p25
The main issue moving smaller citys and towns to this is an affordable
one,but not everyone needs
a p25 radio in every vehicle in the smaller citys or towns but at least
have one per agency within those
communities.
PhaseII is supposedly better which does TDMA.
The Main goal of P25 is to provide INTEROPERABILITY seamlessly
throughout each agency even on a
statewide level to help with natural disasters and all things that go
bump on every scale from local,regional,state,national and someday global.
FirstNet is a small part of this.

Illinois has state-wide P25 (owned and operated by Motorola
Solutions). 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.
