I cant seem to pick up the Ashtabula police at all. I dont know if anyone have had the same problem but its like they disappeared. I have my HP set to scan all of ashtabula county. every frequency has came up at least once since i got it except ashtabula city. Anyone know if they packed up and moved to a different frequency?

They disappeared about a month ago. No clue where they went. I saw a State Trooper out at 45 &90 getting gas and asked him but he said he didn't know, but he did say if you call them and ask they'll tell you. Not sure if I believe that, lol.

There was a thread a while ago asking the same thing. Apparently they moved to a fairly low powered 700mhz conventional system. They are certainly never heard on the MARCS system. I haven't been able to pick them up with the little rubber duck antenna that is attached to the HP1 but am soon putting up a rooftop antenna and hopefully can pick them up that way. I am in Saybrook Township btw, not far from downtown.

The 700mhz freqs were added to the DB fairly recently after someone confirmed to have heard APD using them (he was near RT 84 and RT 11).

Well something is certainly fishy. Can't imagine them being quiet for over 2 hours...and you are right in the middle of town.

No, that would be user: "aimedtoannoy" a few posts above. Thing is, I've listened to his feed a lot and not once have heard APD.

This is a VERY late reply, I forgot about this thread. To this day I still pick up APD, A couple of weeks ago I finally put an tone for every time APD is picked up, There are times where I will not hear APD for a couple of hours and thee are times when I will hear APD every couple minuets.
