New (?) user on VSP TAC

Just for information....

For the last couple weeks I've heard VSP troopers in the Hampton Roads area converse with SMART Traffic center in Virginia Beach on 154.665, asking for assistance trucks to respond breakdowns on the local interstates. I have not heard SMART Traffic on the VSP repeaters.

154.665 is simplex.

Correct; that's why I said I had NOT heard this on the repeaters.

kc4jgc,

I've heard Smart Traffic calls on the VSP Tac channel routinely over the past couple of years. As I am on the Peninsula which Smart Traffic no longer services, I don't hear them like I used to.

I've even heard VSP units say they were changing channels to talk to Smart Traffic, then because they were out of range, I heard nothing else.
