The first systems I encountered were legacy systems that were just regular'conventional radio for Suffolk County, N.Y., which I joined in 1965. We had just three or four frequencies that we used to talk to the entire county of 900 square miles. We used satellite receivers in order to put portables out on the street. I introduced portable radios to the first precinct in the early 1970s. It was just a pilot project that was supposed to last only 90 days, and then I was supposed to take the radios out. But they refused to give them up. That was an early indication that a portable radio in the hands of a cop was very important.
