Interesting side note. I was thinking 2 Ghz operational fixed links were displaced in the US by PCS Cellular service - perhaps 960 Mhz or 6 Ghz ? Doesn't make that much difference - many applications use 960 Mhz. with a fractional T1 data channel. Trunking repeaters just allows a large pool

Well my county isn't even trunked. My city is analog trunked. My county still uses 2 GHz analog links between VHF receive sites. Yes the dynamic of American business has a large impact on how we as hams are lagging or leading the way. Garry is right, now it's mega-million research labs
