Like many, I enjoy finding interesting/odd things on the radio. I was wondering if anyone around the state ever hears anything on VHF HI and LOW bands anymore. Other than the emergency broadcasts that go over all frequencies.
As far as I know ONLY the ISP District Posts have any of the VHF Hi band gear left to monitor Plan A and B. VHF Lo is no longer even installed as far as I know. Mobiles are exclusively SAFE-T, unless an County issues an radio for use on the County system. (In the few counties not using SAFE-T. ) With IDPS being programmed into ISP APXes, and into all the surrounding County's SAFE-T radios we do not even have to hand out loaners. Though EVERYONE has an VHF Hi set up for INDHS EMA.
Yes there are a couple that use VHF, so they have Plan A/B capabilities though they seem to be going NXDN for primary ops. (Not gonna diss on em... Nope not gonna say a word about being too cheap for their own good etc etc... Just not gonna go there this time.)
