Ancient Radios

On the front page of today's AMNY was a story about how cops' radios are completely non-functional when in underground subway stations. A story like this is intended to get the city moving on the issue. And the city must take quick action because this same story also informs terrorists and other criminals on how to deal with cops underground. While it's been like this for years, it's a major concern because there have been terrorist attacks in other countries' train stations over the past couple of years.

One of the major frustrations about this is the technology is available. This is a common case in NYC where we have very old systems and can never find a critical time to take them down and swap them out for newer technology.
