Does anyone know who and why someone is using Delco Police radio frequency 506.6125 M5 for school bus transmission.I have been hearing communication between a dispatcher and bus drivers back and forth since hooking up outside antenna? I have it hooked up to an old portable handheld uniden bearcat 30 channel 10 band and I receive private conversations from sector 4 and 5 as well good stuff not complaining but in the hobbie 40 years and never got reception like this before. Thanks just curious kgw567

My guess is with a outside antenna your scanner is strong enough to receive signals from a neighboring county or jersey. Gloucester county and camden county use 500mhz a lot. Your scanner is too old to be able to use ctcss or dpl codes to filter unwanted signals like newer scanners can.

Could it be an image from a local business overloading your signal?
Is there a DCS/CTCSS code?

These are ones I'm aware of..
