This morning in east Lee County (Fort Myers) I heard traffic for about an hour (6:00AM to about 7:00AM) on one of the 800 MHz mutual aid frequencies: 868.0125 MHz. It sounded like an undercover opertation:
"It looks like he's going to go straight through the intersection."
"Yeah, still going straight through,... straight through.... yeah, we got him on the left turn. Keep on him..."
It didn't sound like a chase, more like they were following someone at a distance. It was obvious I was only hearing one half of the converstation. Also, I have no idea what the agencies were that were utilizing this frequency. Maybe a joint operation between FHP and the Lee County Sheriff's Office???
Anyway, keep those mutual aid frequencies plugged in somewhere in your scanner. You might hear something interesting on them one of these days:
