Looks like they are trying to deal with some of the low priority stuff in M'boro.

Still got some "101's" (local code for crazies) that call 911 multi times for civil matters.
They deal with these and other downright idiotic calls (as do most local PDs) pretty professionally on the radio. I would get fired for unprofessional conduct the first week. Sometimes you can really hear the opinions in the dispatchers tone of voice or the LEO's . Most of the olders officers just stay professional, as it is just part of the job and always will be.

Heard this on channel 4 news (WSMV in Nashville). It sounds like a good way to make sure the resources stay tuned to the more important stuff. Being located in the county just outside of Smyrna, although with a Murfreesboro address, I am served by Rutherford County, not Murfreesboro or Smyrna.

Yeah, same here. I am just outside M'boro city limits, but I monitor them always unless RC has a hot one working. RC is my main freq of intrest, but I just had to figure out how to get the rebanded Smryna system programed . And I actually rerouted some LMR-400 under the house yesterday to hook up my Wilson Yagi. Now Smryna is 5x5 here in Barfield again.

BTW thanks for the Smryna rebanding info you (& others) helped me to find.

You are welcome for the rebanding information. I understand that LMR-400 is probably cabling but I don't know what "5x5" means within this context.

5x5 is HAM for great reception, as good a reception as you can get.
