Mesa Fire Dispatch

Has anyone else on the west side hearing other stations on Mesa Fire Dispatch? Daytime on weekdays I've been hearing what sounds like a business as well as other distant tones for other departments. The business traffic is close as it over rides Mesa Dispatch when both are transmitting.

VHF or TOPAZ?

VHF

When you say west-side, where about?

It is the strongest on the Westside of the 101 between Union Hills and Indian School Rd. When on the eastside of the valley, Scottsdale area, I do not receive the other station just Mesa Dispatch

I'm listening to it right now, 2:40pm Friday afternoon. I'm at 91st and Peoria, and they're not very strong, MFD may be a little stronger.

Edit: on my PRO-2020 with the telescopic whip, they are strong. On my PSR-500 with the stock whip, they're weak and scratchy, and with the 800 whip, they're non-existent.
They're using a PL of 118.8Hz.
I heard mention of a loader, so maybe a construction site somewhere.
My guess is they're using a cheap Chinese radio.

I messaged Mesa FD via Facebook about this, and they replied that they would pass it on to their technical people for investigation.
