[TrunkCom] cut over strategies for moving users to 800 MHz

[Chris Rose]

Radio Resourse site said our system in Saginaw County
was supposed to become a subsystem on the Statewide
system at end of '04 but no change that I am aware of
here.  Everything is working as before for last
several years.  Don't know if or when a switch is
coming here either.
