Tait mobiles have had it for years.
Don't know about portables.

Is this a feature found on both mobiles and portables?
What about Kenwood and Harris (M/A-Com)?

Yep, most manufactures market a voting portable
in one shape or another. Motorola Waris series,
Some Icom, HYT, Tait and Vertex Standard (I
developed the Voting software for the VX-820 series).
Hope this helps

Thanks for the info. I wonder if any radios here
in the U.S. have that feature available???

Voting and talk around are two completely separate things,
Think of voting as scanning that selects the
best (usually Strongest) signal and forces the
radio over to that channel, in this case the
radio will be looking at two frequencies
(Repeater Output, AND base/mobile output) and
comparing them for best signal. obviously if two
users are working closely in a basement for
instance, it ensures seamless switching of the
users portables, and eliminates untrained users selecting the wrong channel.
Talk around or Talk around scanning just stops
on the first channel with valid carrier (Or noise).
Done right, Voting is seamless and invisible to the user.
