What would be an advantage to having a trunked Amateur repeater(s) system, other than the ability of holding more than one QSO at a time?
Just curious...

Mark - N9WYS?
A large group of hams working a public service event. Where the available resources
(the repeaters) are upon request... dealt out to users in any reasonable configuration.
An all-call user group, versus the security, versus the health and safety/rescue and the
general staff users.? All can select and use any group and the groups don't hear, nor do
they interfere with each other. User push to talk (transmit) is routed to an open channel/
repeater or prevented from jamming a completely filled system (not normally likely to
happen).
It's actually done all the time...? When we're at Hamvention, we're using a trunking system
as described above.? I get to tell great jokes in person... get about the same response as
over here.? It's a wonder they ask me back...? at least I think they ask me back.
cheers,
