I dont think TRBO will be going anywhere anytime soon, as its archature is like a phase 2 type system.

Trbo takes up 12.5kc though it provides 2 voice paths, its not 6.25kc wide. My question is when will the 440 and 2m bands start talking about making a unified 6.25 kc divisible bandplan and apply it nationwide? They will have to do it so might as well get started talking about it. I know that there are a lot of people with 25/30 kc radios that are not going to care for hearing about this. A good first step is to design the layout in 12.5 kc steps for each band and start planning on at least going to 2.5kc deviation around that time..
