I'll be traveling through Maryland via I-95 from DC to DE, and wanted to go ahead and program in some talkgroups to keep me company down the highway, but I think the radio situation on the Maryland State Police has me a bit flummoxed. I was hoping from you scanner listeners you can clue me in on what I should be looking out for through MD. I'll be traveling on a PSR-800.
In a nutshell (from what I gather) Maryland State Police typically communicates on each counties local trunked radio system (the exception being Barrack M-JFK on FiRST) and if that should fail or for preference, can transmit out on their respective low band analog frequencies.
Traveling on I-95, should I only be interested in action on JFK barracks, or do the other Barracks work the I-95 freeway as well? If other barracks are patrolling I-95, are they still on the local county TRS, or on low-band, or both?
Any hits on the vehicle repeaters?
