True.  But if everybody went with Provoice, well then
there would be Interop.  I know that scanner owners
wouldn't like that.  There would go a system of Checks

That is why there are Congressional, Judicial, and
Executive branches of government.  Everybody should
check everybody else.

Jet, Amen to that last paragraph.  That is wh ywe go
MARCS in Ohio or so I hear due to a flood back in the
nineties.
