Ok police chase yahoo..big deal!! Really didn't excite me what so ever, other than the individuals needing medical attention after they were caught..a little police brutality there..hmm. But my observation on Northwest Central Dispatchs' digital system. The chase ended up 5 miles from the original starting position..per say. Palatine police weren't able to talk on their portables due to being out of distance (range) I believe the dispatcher reported as such on the air. Bottom line I think the problem we have with these scanner is Motorolas fault. And all along I believe I been reporting distance from the towers has alot to do with the performance of these trunked scanners. I have wrote several observations on such with my observations of playing with both the Uniden digital scanners and gre digital handheld models. With the same result as shown with this chase and the same with the rides of the digital scanners. I'm lucky I'm 1 mile from mine and the darn nexhell tower in between it. But the Lake County EDACS system sucks and I will say that tower has alot to do with it. HMMM..word of thought.
