Is it possible to send voice and data simultaneously?

No, simultaneous transmission of voice and data is not possible. The data transfer rate is fixed at 4800 bps with 3600 bps available for voice or data. Voice actually uses 2450 bps, but the remaining data amount is not sufficient enough to allow simultaneous transmission of data like GPS coordinates. This is a characteristic of the system itself. The radio can be set to send “Data=Voice” or “Voice-Data” in the order you desire upon PTT action. In actual use, the result is almost the same as if it was being sent simultaneously. In IDAS trunking, the repeater information is sent simultaneously with the voice.
