The state of South Dakota is uning a digital VHF trunked system. We have several of these. They work very well. Just like any other "digital" radio they are expensive.

The biggest problem I have found with digital radios is having to turn them in whenever they need programming the agency I worked for had digital and everytime some other department in our area decided they needed to change freq or add a different freq we would be without radios for 1 to 2 days

Bulky and the batteries don't last. I don't care too much for digital versus analog, but it is easier for communications, when it works right. But it's what we got now, so $2500.00 wow.!!

The emergency alert button on the top of the radio was a great idea. I have had this radio for approximately 1 year and the battery is still good

Excellent easily programmable radio.!

800mhz doesn't work well against your body sometimes. Good Radio, but has some antenna problems for us.

User friendly, however it is still better than some other models

Good radio. Of course considering the price should be a great radio.

We love our 30 portables that we purchased last year. Very user friendly, easy to scan and program and very reliable! Highly recommended.

only as good as the repeater system....but loaded with ability

Good radio so far. I ahvent encountered any problems. I really like the private call feature.

This digital radio was promised to be superior to our old system. I would say that half of the time it goes into some type of digital interfered garbage that you can't understand. I have also heard plenty of accidental trips on the emergency button.
