Again,
I'd rather not have '5A' labeled in the DB that way. No other community uses the zones and positions to call a channel. That's why Motorola made those nice pretty 16 or 20 character displays. If we are patient, they are going to call it by a real name.
I've got audio of Springfield calling Lakemore on 36816, but that hardly makes it an intercity channel. I've also got audio of Mogadore calling Springfield on Springfield Ops.
With all the channel positions available, everyone has a little bit of the neighbors. That was part of the whole purpose of the countywide system. Now, they can all talk to each other instead of going through dispatchers all the time.
