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

[Jeff Kenyon]

Would I still have the same PL tone if there  is MDC for signaling 
individual radios?  As I said there isn't even LTR Passport here, but just 
regular old LTR, and these LTR systems are either all on VHF or UHF.  For 
all the time I've been here 800 MHz has been pretty dead, with a few 
exceptions.
    I wonder why then there are no I-calls on LTR systems?  Also, generally 
speaking the LTR systems have done  real well when competing with Nextel, 
and there are always a lot of them no matter where you look no
