| | | Simply put, trunking permits a large number of users to share a relatively small number of communication paths - or trunks. Commercial telephone communication is a wireline version of trunking. This sharing of communication paths is managed automatically by a computer. Channel selections and other decisions normally made by the radio user are made by the central controller, a computerized switch. Channel assignment is automatic and completely transparent to the individual users. Trunking offers many benefits, including faster system access, better channel efficiency, more user privacy and the flexibility to expand. Because of its flexibility, a trunked system can expand along with your operation, to accommodate a growing number of users and restructuring of talkgroups. And it can be continuously upgraded with software. With trunking large quantities of users will no longer need to share a common RF channel and compete for air time. In addition, users won't need to monitor a channel in order to make a call on their own.
There's many different flavours out there... Motorola -------- -AdvantagePlus -Very low-end, VHF or UHF trunking system, SM50, SP50 models only -Privacy Plus -Type I trunking, used in older systems like London Fire Department -StartSite -Type II trunking, single site, several commercial systems SmartNet -Type II, with enhanced features (emergency, interconnect) SmartNet Simulcast -Type II linked with several sites (York Regional Police) SmartZone -Type II multiple independant sites linked (OPP, ambulance, Toronto Police) SmartZone OmniLink -Very Wide Area SmartZone (MTS, RCMP [Manitoba]) GE / Com-Net Ericsson / Tyco ---------------------------- MARC-V (Multiple Access Radio Channel) -No known on-the-air systems) EDACS (Enhanced Digital Access Communications System) -Original Trunking offering (Toronto Ambulance) AEGIS EDACS (First Generation Digital Voice) -Original Digital offering (RCMP [Ontario]) TrueVoice EDACS (Second Generation Digital Voice) -Enhanced Digital offering (London [Ontario] Police) ProVoice EDACS (Encrypted Digital Voice) -Encrypted Digital offering (Peterborough/Chatham [Ontario] Police) SCAT (Single Channel Analot Trunking) -Data and Voice offering (Enbridge Consumers Gas) E.F. Johnson ------------ LTR (Logic Trunked Radio) -Business-class analog (Many commercial businesses) PassPort (Enhanced LTR) -Wide-Area business-class analog (Many commercial businesses) TAIT ---- MPT-1327 -European standard (most European police agencies, and the TTC) TETRA -Digital offering of MPT-1327

| | | The best scanner hands down is the RadioShack PRO-96. It does digital, analog as well as trunked. It does 50,000 channels (yes, you read that right, 50 thousand). Uniden makes a few good scanners, but the PRO-96 has absolutely amazing audio. It has a feature called AGC - Automatic Gain Control. On analog, it doesn't do much, but on digital, it adjusts audio levels so everything from a whisper to a scream sounds the same. And, it's 500USD. The Uniden is 350US, but you also need a 200US dollar card for digital. The PRO-96 has it all in one for 500. -Mike
