[TrunkCom] does anyone know how the new scanners will handle both data and voice from the same channel?

The radio is connected to the computer and the desired features are 
added to (or "flashed into") the radio.

Features that can be flashed into a radio include encryption capability 
and additional channel capacity. As an example, the base model MTS-2000 
Flashport portable radio is capable of 160 talkgroups/channels. For a 
fee (if I recall correctly from when we ordered ours it's around $150 
per radio if you order it at the same time as the radio), you can have 
it flashed up to 255 talkgroup/channel capacity.

It's really just a firmware upgrade or addition.
