Some frequencies have a Dpl tone but my scanners only offer dcs tones Is there a way to program the Dpl tone into the scanners

Does one work better than the other? Like at lower signal levels or during multipath? Since 1 is sinewave tone and the other is small digital bit data.

I have heard that DPL/DCS does not play nice with simulcast for some reason. A couple systems I know of switched to analog PL from DCS when they added simulcast sites. I am sure there is some technical reason for that.

I wonder too about attack time. I know that lower analog PLs have a slower attack time than higher ones. Again, I am sure there is some good reason for it. I don't know if DPL has any better or worse results in that regard.
