NO, California is a mess.  Perhaps not in Santa Cruz county, but in Los 
Angeles and parts along the central valley for sure.  BTW, San Diego has 
almost completely switched over to the new system.  Mobiles in San Diego 
should now run RELAY,WIDE and fixed stations run WIDE,WIDE or 
DIGI,WIDE.  A couple of L.A. area digipeaters have made the switch as 
well.  We're almost ready out here.  It's already making a big positive 
difference.
