Hi Amanda, thanks for contributing. I too, am in EMS (EMT/S) and I'm the only one on my service who takes y2k seriously. I fully believe that our antiquated 911 dispatch system will stop on 1/1/00. I think the state does too. They are trying to mandate a switch to all new 800mhz radios, at a cost of 3500.00 each. Services such as mine cannot afford this (our total would be $85,000.) And many real small services have hardly any budget at all. I don't know where it's headed but I don't like it.(posted 9424 days ago)Rod
