I am aware of the repeaters in Cal and that is awesome. The new APX series radio is TDMA compliant and if past history continues to prevail the TDMA phase 2 P25 will be TDMA.

(LA, Orange, and San Diego counties) we have at least 4 Mototrbo repeaters running AND IPSC linked on the amateur band. There are more than two dozen users known to have invested in Trbo radios with interest growing steadily. Given the behind-the-scenes Mototrbo activity that has been taking place over the past two years in amateur radio it's become increasingly clear that the system works well and that Motorola is continuing to improve or release features and tools all the time. They really hope APCO adopts their TDMA format as the next generation of P25 but that is yet to be seen meanwhile Motorola is clearly focused on developing the Mototrbo platform.

I would be interested to know what other areas are using for setting or are they leaving everything in the default setting? Dan KA8YPY
