I was on the move this past weekend. I spent the night at a motel near Little Rock. For a little entertainment, I took the SDS100 to the room. It has Jon's internal GPS and I listened to public safety on the Arkansas Wireless Information System (AWIN). When I left there, I put the radio in the suitcase and left for Wichita. Once again, I took the radio to the motel room in Wichita. When I turned it on, I was listening to AWIN again, at least that's what the display said. It displayed info for AWIN/Little Rock PD. I didn't hear anything in the conversation that would actually pin it down to any location, let alone Arkansas. It was general commentary regarding a disturbance call. The GPS had not yet loaded Wichita information. After a minute or two, the GPS did load Sedgwick County/Wichita info and everything was fine.
I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure I wasn't picking up Arkansas's radio system in Wichita, 400+ miles away. What happened?
