[TrunkCom] regular talk groups and private calls andconfigurations

[Jeff Kenyon]

Well, is I am going to start monitoring again I am going to do it with my 
Uniden since it will monitor I-calls.  This is what I can't figure out. 
I-calls are seemingly used moderately but not much, so what I am wondering 
is is there a way of using a regular talk group for coms between the bus and 
dispatch and having it set up so that they can use this kind of setup while 
using a regular talk group?  The driver I talked to today doesn't like the 
set up and she was one of the trainers who trained the other drivers when 
SMART moved to their type II TRS in 2001.  For large buses this is good 
using private calls, but for ADA curb to curb type operations it is better 
for them to just have the ability to talk unit to unit rather then go 
through dispatch every time they need to take care of something.
