ProVoice is Harris' implementation of IMBE digital modulation for radio communications. It is not APCO-25 compliant, but does use the same IMBE vocoder. AEGIS was a predecessor of ProVoice on EDACS Systems.

EDACS ProVoice systems use the MA/Com EDACS control channel.


Can This Mode Be Trunktracked?
