Hi, Kinda newbie here. Have been trying to monitor frequencies in Catt. County. I have a Bearcat 8. I see in the Database here that Trans-Am's frequency is listed as 461.025 and a TYPE of RM and MODE of FM. I was wondering why I seem to never hear anything on this frequency? Does anyone know what they use to communicate with their rigs? I can hear them on 33.700 talking to sheriff dispatch. Not being nosey or nothing...Just wondering...you know curiosity type thing...Thanks!!!

The license it is under (WPYZ254) is maintained by Brico Tech Inc in Corning NY. Brico Tech is the radio company that leases the radio freqs to Trans-Am and other businesses. It is possible that Trans-Am no longer uses this frequency. I find no license for Trans-Am in the ULS.

Does anyone have any more recent details? Did somebody figure out the actual radio system type in use yet?

I'm more curious as to how they get all their equipment and the patient in a TransAm.
