  The per-channel dwell time is shorter than the squelch reaction
  time, and they try to avoid operating in the ham band whenever
  they think about it.   Or so I was told...  :-)

  The AF and its contractor has been very silent on the actual
  system capabilities and susceptibility, even when we needed
  that info in the "repeater power reduction" project. It's been
  "I'll tell you when it's OK", to use an old hackneyed phrase.
