Control channel

A control channel is the continuous, dedicated data stream broadcast by a trunked radio system controller for certain systems, such as Motorola and EDACS, usually on a dedicated channel on each tower.

Here are audio clips of some examples, so you can identify them when trying to figure out a new system:

• Motorola Type II
• Motorola Type I
• EDACS Normal
• EDACS Narrowband
• Project 25 9600 baud
• Tetra
