It would be interesting to see if someone was encountering a busy signal
or two or  more.  At least when we made the move to the system here they
told us about busy tones, and said that the chances of someone getting one
were slim to none, but I heard that in Warren, Michigan they were telling
 non public safety workers to quiet down because of busies.  By the way I
 found out that Warren will be adding its old MDT channel to the trunked
 system pool, because they just switched services, so the 856.0375 will soon
be part of the system.
