I think I heard that somewhere. I know there was talk for a while about Pittsburgh Police going to 800 Mc, although it would still have been analogue, but the deal fell through and they are still using their old 453 Mc system they had since the 1960's. I know New York had a lot of commo problems and when the Twin Towers fell on 9-11, it made them a lot worse.
