Leave if you want. I feel really sorry for you that you don't believe me 
or APCO that P25 systems only have a 9600 control channel. Again, read 
the P25 spec. You won't find a P25 system with anything other than a 
9600 control channel. Yes, there are P16 systems (3600 control channel) 
that have P25 talkgroups, but those are not P25 systems.

Anyone who knows anything about P25 knows this.
