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

[Jeff Kenyon]

Hi Chris an the group.  I was up in your area last weekend and noticed that 
several groups from the old analogue were patched to the MPSCS, and didn't 
hear too much else on MPSCS, but with the Pro-96 I tried a little experiment 
and looked for control channels that weren't as strong as the one I was 
nearest too, and heard pleanty of other things, but as I said in Detroit 
right now it appears as though some of the people who were on the old type I 
system have moved to the new sub system.  I had heard that Saganaw's cut 
over was delayed because of money issues.
