However, an analog trunked system, such as Troy’s older EDACS system does have talk groups.
It‘s not whether it’s analog or digital that determines having talk groups, rather the technology type of the underlying system.
How about a GE MARC V system? Is that analog enough for youWhile many EDACS systems feature analog voice, the foundation of the system is digital, most notably the control channel (same applies to Motorola 3600 systems).
