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

[dmccorm at charter.net]

If the bus system uses groups or zones, you could see different PL, but I doubt it.

Mainly because regular LTR never needed I-Calls, you just create a new talkgroup for talk-around or a phone patch.

Regular LTR is the easiest of the trunked systems to monitor.
