ICOM D* rigs have both analog and D*. However, one sets up a freq for
one or the other in memory. In VFO mode can switch between modes from
the front panel.
I would think Mot would have simplex modes even in their trunking.
EDACS does and here for the sheriff dept set up for emergency ops or
when system fails. However, it has been found few officers know how to
switch, hi. Since they very seldom do it they quickly forget.

What happens if a P25 repeater or D-Star module fails.You don't get
out unless you have a stack or linked system. Taking just a single
station example a UHF. You have a UHF D-Star on the air and the TX
radio overheats and dies. You have no local repeat just like P25 or
MOTOTRBO as well as ANALOG system.
No. If a P25 repeater goes down, you can have a 'mode' (as Moto calls
it)
that is simplex on the output, and you will be still be heard by any
radios
in range-IF you're on a conventional system. A trunked system is
different, but the radios do still have conventional simplex available,
and should be programmed.
D* I expect has the same thing.
I don't think there is a direct radio-to-radio mode in Mototrbo...I
could be wrong tho...
