[TrunkCom] Digital trunking

[Mike K0CRX]

Jeff,

Thanks for your input.  I was afraid the answer would be 'no'.

It seems to me that the what I'm asking would be doable.  I'm certainly 
not a scanner expert, but, if the external software can direct a scanner 
to a new freq, it seems that 'all' it would have to do is decode the 
digital trunking info.  I guess I'm asking a lot!!!

Thanks again!

Mike
