Ankeny Fire Department

[mikeydcg2003]

Is there any of the des moines scanners out there that have the Ankeny Fire Department on their arsenal of scanning freqs? If you do, Do you hear what sounds to be like an audio feed from a tv station every now and then? I know when i am working at our office in ankeny, my scanner will sometimes hit on the feed for only a few seconds then drop it. When they page out a call, you can hear the dispatcher and units fine but after they finish their transmission you can hear the audio feed again in little blips. Just wondering if anyone else was having this issue

I can hear Ankeny Fire dispatch up here in Tama. No interference.
Was in Moline working for a couple days this week. Three blocks
away was a TV stations studio. Had the same thing happen on 154.xxx
and low 155.xxx freqs.

Could it have something to do with the Digital TV Tower being only 10 miles away from ankeny??
