It may very well be a trunk. When the City Services here in Calgary
AB Canada, used the GE/Ericcson trunk, there was a jingle right after
each transmission, then the conversation hopped to the next
frequency. It was totally annoying, and hard to scan. Curious to
know what frequencies you are monitoring. Here in Calgary, we have
now, trunks in 400, 800, and 900 mhz bands.

My QTH is currently Kathmandu and the frequency in question is
454.0000 MHz. I can hear both parties chatter just fine (with no
hopping to other frequency). However the parties do mention about
moving to different channel apparently to clear the channel. I still
need to discover that new frequency though.

My question regarding trunk is pretty basic though. From what I have
read trunking simply allows the efficient usage of frequency similar
like a PABX phone system. If the conversation doesn't hop to other
frequency like you have mentioned, there is really no need to worry
too much, isn't it?

Maybe I will provide .mp3 of the jingle one of these days.

Thanks.

It still may be a trunk, on some systems, the conversation can still
go on, for a considerable lenth of time, before hopping. I would
still do a search, for other frequencies, to see if it is a trunk.
