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?

Apart from using an actual ProVoice radio, this mode can be copied by:
- The Uniden BCD436HP with version 1.10.02 firmware or better
- The Uniden BCD536HP with version 1.10.02 firmware or better
  - ProVoice Announcement and Instructions (for both the 436 and 536)
- The Uniden BCD325P2 with version 1.07.06 firmware or better
- The Uniden BCD996P2 with version 1.07.06 firmware or better
  - Instructions for the upgrade (note: for both the 325P2 and 996P2)
- Uniden's SDS100 and SDS200 supports ProVoice upgrade (option to upgrade visible in the menu)
- DSD or DSDPlus using a discriminator-tapped scanner or Software Defined Radio (SDR). See the bottom of the DSD article for known working setups.

-Digital communications is also available for EDACS systems and exists in two different formats, AEGIS and ProVoice. AEGIS was the first format introduced and ProVoice was the last and current format. Neither one is APCO-25 Common Air Interface compliant unlike Motorola's ASTRO, which is. Also, neither AEGIS nor ProVoice can communicate with each other.

-There are three different types of EDACS control channels. The most common is the wideband EDACS control channel, which operates at 9600 baud. Listen to it here (http://www.radioreference.com/digital/dig/edacs-norm.wav). There is also a narrowband EDACS control channel which operates at 4800 baud and primarly is used for EDACS systems in the 900 MHz band. Listen to the narrowband control channel here (http://www.radioreference.com/digital/dig/edacs-nb.wav). Finally, there is the wideband EDACS "encrypted" control channel which is basically a variation on the standard 9600 baud wideband control channel. M/A-COM's trademark name for this feature is ESK (EDACS Security Key).
