[TrunkCom] Clock now running on 800 MHz rebanding

[Lindsay C. Blanton III]

What's going to be interesting are some of the big EDACS systems that reside
in the 866-868.9875 range.

For Motorola systems, a transition could include leaving the data channels
in the old range and moving all the voice channels to the new range, then
phasing out the data channels and reprogramming radios as such.

However for EDACS systems and LCNs, it's not that easy, and I wonder how
some very large EDACS system users (Like San Antonio, New Orleans, etc) are
going to handle a transition, since every radio needs to be programmed with
the entire new LCN structure before things will work properly.  Yikes!
