Wow, nothing about the audio enhancements I submitted or the security issues with RAS systems.

They sure are putting a lot of enhancements in to features traditionally used by Public Safety users. I guess Motorola is starting to realize not all agencies can afford expensive, overpriced, FDMA P25 systems. I wonder if we'll see DMR in the APX line in the near future...
