As we now have roughly 2 dozen trunking articles that have to do with Mototrbo (you can see this by looking at how many articles link to the DMRTracker template), I think it's time we consider how to more accurately display this information.
The first question has to do with color codes. There are some systems that seem to only use 1 color code, others have 1 assigned for each frequency. I think we need to figure out some way of displaying these multiple color codes better than just listing them in the infobox. Without the frequency reference, it's a little misleading.
There is an EDACS/LTR template (ELTRfreqs) that we have already that might be recoded for this purpose, but it's kinda wide - we'd run right into the infobox. Perhaps limiting down to 4 frequencies per row for 8 rows (32 physical freqs, but as I understand it, actually 64 logical freqs since there are 2 slots per frequency).would work.
The other one is talkgroups. Now I'll be the first to admit that I don't fully understand TRBO trunking, but just showing the talkgroups is, I suspect, somewhat inaccurate. If we could get a better handle on this, we might be able to design something that displays TRBO talkgroups more accurately.
Thoughts? Mike
