Why are there several ways that EDACS systems are listed?
EDACS System are listed in one of several ways, depending on the brand of radio you are using. Some radios use the “AFS” (Agency-Fleet-System”) method, “Decimal” method, or “Hex” method. Some radios allow you to switch methods. Each uses one or more way to designate Group ID’s (GID’s). GID’s is the term used for EDACS systems talk groups, similar in use to Fleet/Sub Fleets (Motorola Type I) or Talk Groups (Motorola Type II). While these terms are sometimes used interchangeably (even here) there are differences.
