Watching P25 towers on a DSD+ and UT, all of the available voice channels on a particular tower do not populate immediately, but they populate as needed when the tower gets busier. If a tower has 1 CC, and 1 ACC, when the ACC starts being used as a voice channel, is that when a tower is considered full, and there are no more voice channels available to populate? Several of my local P25 towers have more frequencies on their license than what I can get DSD or UT to populate, but recently I saw a tower start using the ACC as a voice channel when the tower was extremely busy. I'm curious if the ACC is used as a voice channel as a last resort, as the only remaining available voice channel; or if another user would've keyed up if it would've populated another voice channel.
