[TrunkCom] Detroit / Windsor TRS

[JEFFREY MICHAEL KENYON]

Hi Ron and the group.  What has been the latest with testing on the
Detroit system?    Also, I have been hearing what sounds like a Motorola
go a head tone when the Detroit Public Schools are coming on to the
856.1375 freq.  I can't find a license or the TRS that they would be on
now.  Also, when will the Bell Isle site be turned on for Detroit?  
	Nothing is new with the Grosse Pointe TRS, but it worked great
last Friday in the storm.  We will probably up linkour's to Windsor's
system as well with the lake being right there and all like Detroit and
Down River will be doing.
