<BUZZ>  Wrong....  I'm sure others are going to correct you
on this too.  I've mastered the art of mixing Multiple Trunk
into the same bank.  Mixing EDACS & Motorola systems
is a piece-of-cake.  Mixing LTR & Motorola is a piece of
cake.  

The problem occurs when trying to mix EDACS & LTR.
On the 780xlt, it can be done, so long as the EDACS
& LTR systems do not reuse the same Logical Channel
Numbers.  On the Pro-92 & its Mobile clone, EDACS & 
LTR can easily be placed together, since the Pro-92
does not care about Logical Channel Order for LTR.

Of course, for the LTR Trunk System, the actual System
Radios do care about logical channel numbering.  As does
the 780xlt.  But the Pro-92 & its mobile clone uses the 
poorman's method to Trunk Track LTR..

Which means in an area with lots of LTR Trunk Systems
in one band, errors can exist in listings on the Internet
that were taken from those that only used Pro-92s.
Such is the case here in St Louis, Mo with 2 almost
identical LTR Trunk Radio Systems.  They share the
same band, the same LTR numbered repeaters (LCNs), 
and some of the same talkgroups.  The only differances
were the frequencies.   It was hard enough trying to
figure it out with a 780xlt.  For the Pro-92, it would 
have been completely impossible to figure out anything
on those 2 completely separate and independent LTR
Systems.
