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  [http://www.radioreference.com/digital/dig/edacs-norm.wav here]. 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  [http://www.radioreference.com/digital/dig/edacs-nb.wav here]. 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).
-'''ProVoice''' is MA/Com's (formerly Ericsson) implementation of [[IMBE]] digital modulation. It is ''not'' [[APCO-25]] compliant, but does use the same [[IMBE]] [[vocoder]] developed by [http://www.dvsinc.com/ DVSI Inc].  The technical difference between ProVoice and the APCO Project-25 standard is how error correction and modulation is provided to transmit the data.
-El Pase and San Antonio, Texas, the State of Florida, and St Tammany Parish, Louisiana, are using ProVoice [[EDACS]] or are in the process of building ProVoice systems.

-There is no scanner available today that can monitor EDACS ProVoice Digital voice.
