The Phase 2 P25 standard is far from complete. And yes, there are several TDMA "TYPE 2" systems up and working, but none are certified "PHASE 2" P25 systems.
I know in our county, the contract written with Motorola includes a statement about upgrading the system to an approved/certified Phase 2 system when the standard is complete, at no cost to the county. This not only includes infrustructure, but all of the radios as well. Now, back to the topic at had...MOTOTRBO Amateur Systems....Is everyone leaving the system setting in there respective defaults, or is there some recommendation for settings?
