Actually I believe GE copied Moto, but nevermind.

In conventional mode you can't really monitor them as you constantly
get the control channel. It's either annoying data, which is a
majority of the time, or voice.

VOC is actually out there a lot more than it seems. There's a local
system which runs single channel and two channel VOC sites (And who
uses them is kept strict). When administering VOC you have a lot of
timing issues to contend with and considering most system admin
intelligence levels, it doesn't get used. Neat feature though.
