[FedCom] Re: Quantar Repeaters & CTCSS

[Michael W. Scheel]

My information comes from early 90s and is no means the last word on the subject. I posted what knew and I realize that technology does not stand still. But I was wondering if a code could select a system/site like a CTCSS. The past few postings sure gave me ideas about the tech issues. 

When you have the money. Tech will advance.

Thanks again for the explaination.

The original post that caught my attention stated: "With digital encrytion
they could not select a site like with analog voice with CTCSS."

I didn't think this sounded corect as I know many agencies using digital
encryption could indeed select repeater sites at will...
