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

[Jeff Kenyon]

My thing is with LTR and monitoring it with a lot of different groups I've 
had trouble programming in specific TGs with the 250D because it isn't like 
with Moto or EDACS in terms of just going to the list of channels for TGs. 
I am monitoring it now and it sure is sparse compared to what it has been in 
the past, so I think that in the course of the next few days I'm going to 
hunt after some talkgroups on the LTR systems here and see what I come up 
with.  I don't particularly care for using this service, but that's a whole 
different story, but I find monitoring them sure helps!
