Just picked up (what I believe) is a Ericsson IPE-200 800MHz EDACS radio. Firstly, Motorola is my bag, I know nothing about Ericsson and even less about EDACS trunking
So, the question of the day is.....Can this do conventional channels?
It sure can, but first of all....check your options......
press the M key and bring up the menu. arrow down to the Features and see if your radio has option #29 in the list. If it does, you have a provoice capable radio....
I believe the IPE portable is trunking only and not capable of conventional operation. The IPE is based on an Ericsson cell phone platform. The LPE portable is capable of both.
It will definitely do EDACS trunking, it will not do conventional. You can program it to an EDACS trunked system for full receive and transmit. The one neat feature of it is that if you make an interconnect phone call (if that's enabled on your EDACS system) it reduces the transmit power and audio level and you can hold it to your ear just like a cell phone. Other than that and it's small size, I don't know of any other distinctive features
