Icom answer to Motorola's Mototrbo ICOM Digital Advance System IDAS was tested today in Edmonton. I caught the radio techs testing a newly installed IDAS repeater in the Area of Rexall place. The techs were switch from Analog to IDAS, back and forth.
The techs clearly indentified the digital mode as they switching modes during testing, "Going to IDAS.... now back in the clear... these ICOM radios are pretty cool"
Here is a link to the Icom site with IDAS specs, note the "stun - kill" mode.

sorry I missed the exact frequency, I caught the testing on close call and forgot to write it down, It was near 451.5000
