Larry (and all),
A true Project 25 (P-25) system is *supposed* to be
interoperable.
IOW, a (authorized) M/A COM handset should be able to
work on a Motorola/Daniels/EF Johnson system *if* it
is P-25 compliant (and visa-versa).
However, there was some chatter on another list last
week about vendors claiming P-25 "compliance" and P-25
"capability."  Maybe the word was "conformance."  At
any rate, the bottom line is that even though every
piece of system equipment conforming to the P-25
specification is supposed to be interoperable (and to
some degree interchangable), some vendors are finding
ways of keeping customers tied to their products.
