[TrunkCom] possible mygration to LTR or some other kind of trunking and have questions about I-call monitoring with LTR

[dmccorm at charter.net]

There are no I-Calls on LTR, however you could hear phone patch. This could be what they use. As long as it's regular LTR you can hear it. 

Also MDC1200 will support unit ID. So this could also be used on a conventional system.

Unless the bus company goes out and purchases a trunked system there is no other trunking system they could go on around here except for the few SMR  owners who have LTR systems.  IN talking to some people they are trying o put together a new radio system where it is just able to be bus to dispatcher and not bus to bus and when the dispatcher wants to call a particular bus they'd have to key in the ID for the given bus.  I haven't noticed any changes yet, but trunking is not out of the question right now, and the only thing I'm noticing on the conventional freq is that there is less traffic on it then there normally is.  What I'm wondering though is can one listen to I-calls on an LTR trunked system with the BC-250D?  I know you can do so with Moto or EDACS, and one of the reasons I am holding onto my 250 is for trunktracking LTR systems when I have the chance.  If this service is moving to any of the LTR systems that are all standard I'm going to be particularly interested in monitoring them be it a regular TG or I-call.
