Roach:
The person who told you to program Talk 1 as EDACS (which is a type of "trunking" protocol), obviously knows nothing of the State of Delaware trunking system. Delaware"s system is a Motorolla type 2 3600 trunk system with digital voice. Talk 1 and Talk 2 are "conventional" Motorola digital channels(p25 Common Air Interface), they are "not trunked" they should be programmed the same way as ITAC's with the audio set as "digital". Both talk channels rely on the power output of the transmitter.
Range is usually a mile, basically line of sight. DELDOT can be heard on Talk 1 when they have flaggers closing one lane of a two lane road. Most traffic heard on the ITAC's will be radio techs testing radios. However, in Kent County there is a school using one of the ITAC channels for school ops.
