Seems like a very niche concept of dubious notability. One offline hit on GScholar of dubious reliability. GBook is a bit better, but sems still limited to legal documents/manuals. Our article is mostly unreferenced - effectively two footnotes only to unlinked sources, only one of which seems to use this term and in passing. It is not a hoax (here is the deorted archived version of the EL for FCC definiton of the concept: [1]) but due to problems with notability and referencing I think we should consider WP:ATD-R if not outright deletion, which frankly may be justified due to notability issues.

  • Delete insignificant and dubias, delete per nom. Freinland (talk) 07:42, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with Trunked radio system: the subject certainly qualifies for a section in the merge target, but not enough notability to justify a standalone article. Owen× 13:26, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting to see if there is more support for a Merge.
