MDC1200 Inhibiting

This is just a curious question, as I'm curious if some joker with access to a console decides to do it: Can a selective inhibit sent to FFFF kill all radios with MDC? And for that matter, can MDC inhibiting be reversed by simply writing in a codeplug before the radio was inhibited?

the simple answer is yes, somebody could do that, the long answer is that part needs to be enabled in the individual radios during programming. along with that a simplex or duplex system would be easier but for a trunked system they would need keys or access to the system. just writing a codeplug back with regular rss or cps will not fix the problem, it will need to go back to motorola or be un-inhibited by the console that inhibited it.

I could be wrong (has been known to happen) and I'm not anywhere near where I can look it up, but I have this recollection that says that for certain MDC commands wildcard values are not acceptable, and I believe radio inhibit and radio revive are amongst them.
