[TrunkCom] trip is over, and managed to get all I wanted to monitor

[Jeff Kenyon]

It seems more so that M/Acommis opened to working with others on OpenSky,
bugt not anything with ProVoice.  I wonder why this is?  ProVoice already
uses the same chip that is used for APCO-25.  Does anyone know if M/AComm
has any hand in the decision as to what phase II of P-25 will be with the
proposed TDMA idea?
