There is no need for APCO P25 protocol compatibility. They are
different designs for different purposes. Hams are not a managed
fleet like public safety systems.
That being said, creating a 12.5 kHz. band plan in the portion of the
REPEATER sub-band currently used for analog simplex would accommodate
more than D-STAR. P25/MotoTurbo/NXDN/D-STAR all fit into those slots
nicely.

( like being compatable with apco format ? )
