Well, just for everyone's info it is possible on some systems that are
digital if the users choose to send data other then the usual radio ID and
things like that they could send out more data then what people have been
used to before in analogue trunking, but a lot of people elect to go CDPD
or just a separate conventional channel or talk group for MDTS and things
like that.  Does anyone know if there are any users that are sending both
data and voice at the same time on the dsame channel?
