Does anyone know what frequency police were commonly using in 1950?
Yesterday I was watching a movie made in 1950 entitled "Mystery Street." I like to watch old movies to see the stuff people used back then and even to get an idea of how they lived.
This movie was shot in Boston, and it was interesting to see the police there using a 1950 Ford with a long antenna attached to a ball mount on the driver's side in the rear. That antenna looked like it could have been in the 27 MHz class because of its length. There probably were no repeaters used by police in that era, so they would have had to depend on direct contact with a base antenna (?).
Just curious. Thanks.
