[TrunkCom] getting access to EDACS radio to monitor ProVoice systems?

[David McCormick]

P25 is open source able to be used by Uniden, GRE America, iCom, and AOR 
America. The Motorola tracking was an patent exploit discovered by Greg 
Knox, EDACS tracking was created by Terry Brennan and Sean Sullivan of 
the G/Trac LLC.

Both the Uniden and GRE latest radios are able to work with ESK on 
regular EDACS systems.

I don't see any live feeds for the ProVoice systems:
