Maxtracs don't do type II trunking, and that's what most Public Service 
agencies are using.  Spectras, STX and MTXs are what's common for type 2, and 
it costs a bunch to program them.  And if you use the 'media' package in a 
place like San Diego, you do NOT get anything but the dispatch freqs.  With 
the TT, you can get ALL the groups, even if they add some down the line.  I 
have a Spectra and an STX, but I'll get a 235 also, for the special stuff.
