    MSP 2300 DSP on 2200 DSP CC?

    Is anyone else hearing Marshall patrol dispatch (2300) on the Mankato patrol dispatch talkgroup ID 20116? Also, there seems to be a LOT of echo recently on MSP, mainly when the cars are transmitting. I have a GRE PSR-800 with a wildcard for my talkgroups and radio IDs if that makes a difference.

    International Falls, MN/Fort Frances, ON

    I see that Duluth/Superior has online scanner live. Does anyone know if there is live scanner from International Falls, MN & Fort Frances, ON? I'm guessing because it's so far north and so few people it's going to be tough to find it. If anyone knows, let me know! Thx!
