[TrunkCom] VOC and SCAT

Fri, 19 Apr 2002 12:14:01 -0400

A two channel V.O.C. T.R.S.?  You mean to tell me that there is a two =
channel V.O.C. with 2 control channels?  I thought that V.O.C. / S.C.A.T. =
only got 1 control channel; just like a regular system.

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.
