I was not trying to be critical, it's just that your statement did not
make sense within its context.  Of course I-Calls (and everything else)
would not come through if you are out of range of a trunked system.  But
you singled out I-Calls, and within the context made it sound like some
I-Calls within the range of individual ID's would not come through, which
is not the case.  Just trying to clarify it so someone new does not get
confused.

Motorola systems broadcast it throughout the transmission.  Thus, if your
scanner does not catch the beginning of the I-Call or Phone Patch, you
will still hear them.
