Main Differences
Conventional Trunking
Users in a group have a dedicated channel
All users on that channel hear each other
Users must wait for clear channel
When no users are talking, channel is idle.
Over 24 hour period, most channels are idle
Users are in a dedicated “talk group”
Channels are pooled into a system
supports many talk groups per channel
When a user in a talk group speaks, the system assigns an idle channel to the group
“Talk groups” can be prioritized
