There is way more than one dispatch channel for PD in the Phoenix metro area, but for FD I usually just have one on Mesa dispatch and Rural Metro dispatch.

I have my many favorite main channels. However, the when I 'm watching TV, I have the scanner parked on IFERN which is for Milwaukee area fire departments(patches to and from Chicago area). That is a radio network used by MABAS for mutual aid.

I normally listen to Grundy County Public Safety (all tg's), Starcom21 P25 (listen to any of the ISP dist's I can get. D5, D6, D17 ect. / IEMA tg's), sometimes I'll monitor Will County Public Safety EDACS and Joliet Public Safety.

I really like to listen to 147.2700 SKYWARN / HAM during adverse weather. They are good at what they do!

Tough question though as I'll listen to just about anything!

Well, I probably have too many to list, but I'm usually "parked" on Hammond Police Dispatch on the Hammond/East Chicago Public Safety Trunk System (TGID 48).

I'm here a lot
The Ontario Provincial Police running through Toronto up in Canada on the provincial Bell Fleetnet trunked system.


Code:
656  21d  D  OPP 1OPS38 Aurora 5B -1OPS38 Highway Safety Division (5A- GHQ , 5L- 407 )

We have a well publicized law about speeding. Yet they always nail the offenders on this talkgroup.

Seven day supension and up to $10,000 fine for going over 95 miles per hour (150 kms per hour in Canada) :eek:

This is one of the most congested freeways in North America, yet when some people catch a break in the traffic, they try and hit Mach 1.:roll:

Sacramento Metro Fire Dispatch

For any major event, sooner or later the fire department is called (vehicle wreck, shooting, fire, etc) and by concentrating on this one channel, I don't have to be as bombarded with routine calls. Now multiply that for every jurisdicion you want to know what is going on.

You can listen to Sac Metro Fire too, link below for my feed.
