Richard Dawson, best known as a long time host of the Family Feud TV series, put passion in the words Survey says! In most cases, the contestants were almost always out of sync with what others said. The debate on the pros and cons of analog versus digital radios would be a classic with manufacturers on one side and public safety users on the other when asked the question, which is better - analog or digital radios?
We all know the answer by the manufacturers - privacy, longer battery life, and enhanced features to name a few. Conversely, from the user perspective, the answers are quite different. Just yesterday I spoke with several MotoTRBO users. From a police department official - I hate the damn things. I no longer know what is going on! From an officer with a large municipal police department. If the siren is on, forget about talking on the radio! And, from a fire department user, If it were not for federal funding, we would never have switched, and just between you and me - we don't even operate in the digital mode. Analog works much better for us!
