A long story short....the old Icom IC-R3 that I had from years ago (back when I could watch TV on it), was recently found in my storage building. It had a few receive issues, that I seemed to have fixed, and made it the "new" Jeep radio, in place of the R-20 (a little protective of that one).
Background story over....I caught a transmission late last week (with the R3), I believe it was Thursday or Friday, where the dispatcher stated something about "going to the 800 channel".
Since then, I haven't heard much, if any at all on the VHF (155.6700) GCPD frequency in the days post hearing that transmission, which initially led me to think the poor R3 has faulted again. Picked the Pro-106 to take into the home office tonight, and the thing is lit up on 851.92500. Every transmission I caught was on UHF.
Did they FINALLY make the move to the Palmetto 800?
It also seems that Berkeley County Rescue frequencies are still VHF. Any word on a move to 800?
Edit: WOW...I can't believe this was my first post on this forum. I've been a RR member for years. Had another screen name in 2008, but forgot it when I was overseas.....hahaha.
