Is/was anyone monitoring LASO (Lakewood Dispatch-483.1375) today (7-25 around 1030 hrs.)? If so, what kind of testing (if thats what is was) requires the use of beeps, and high to middle to low(and vise versa) pitched tones? I have never heard of these kinds of tones on the scanner. Kind of reminds me of grade school days, where they made you take those hearing tests in that trailer equipped with several stations. You then had to press a button everytime you heard a tone played in the earphones. Not sure what channel Lakewood is patched to for dispatch, as I turned off the scanner.
Now that I think about it, I know that some testing has been going on these past couple of weeks. Most if not all consisted of removal of the busy tone. I was listening one day and just happen to look down at the scanner display and noticed it was a LASO channel(I thought dispatch forgot to release the patch, as this does happen-rarely) but after a few minutes, I heard dispatch tell the deputy's that testing was complete and the patch was no longer in use. This happened alot at night. I've asked a few deputy's already and A. They look at me as if I do not know what I am talking about, and B. They know what I am talking about, but have no info regarding a sysytem upgrade of any kind. Anyone know of anything?
