[TrunkCom] Control Frequency Only Mode

[JERRY NONE]

Thanks Jeff.
Sorryu about that but I didn't think that anybody
woul;d of responded this fast.  I was going to say 
"DISREGARD" after I read one of the messages but ops,
to late.
Hey thanks again for the info.
I also understand that Pure P-25 starts off @ 1
instead of 16.  Does that mean that it goes
1,2,3,4,5,6...instead of 16,32,48,60,...
Did MOT odecide this or was this an industry or FCC
standard?
