Default you can search for it, it has all been gone over

that'd probably be the easiest way to get the info you want.

Default Most cell coverage is tri-mode, so analog is there as a backup, but.......

good luck getting an analog subscription only as I don't know of any companies currently offering it. Analog is dead for all intents and purposes.

Forget intents and purposes. It's dead for the consumer.

Default Unfortunately you would be misinformed Dave, there is a limited analog system

still in service in various parts of Canada. Once again though, you can't subscribe to an analog network, it's only there for backups and some fleetnet services.
