PSP HQ Designation

[ECHO3]

If I remember, Harrisburg units are assigned to Troop K and are designated K-1, etc. How are cars from their administration headquarters designated? Year's ago, I would hear "Headquarters 300" (example). I don't reside close enough to Harrisburg to monitor any transmissions from "Headquarters." They do travel throughout the Commonwealth, however.

They are using the dispatch center location now. "Harrisburg CDC to such and such." "Norristown CDC to blah, blah, blah."
Units are usually designated by there location and a number. Harrisburg 3, Skippack 2, etc.

Troop K is Media, Philly, and Skippack.

Troop H covers the Dauphin County area.

As far as Harrisburg HQ radio callsigns, no clue.

I guess I didn't remember. DUH, me!

Last info I have in my files shows:

H1-1 Troop H CO
H1-2 Troop H Patrol Cmdr.
H1-3 Troop H CID Cmdr.
H1-4 Troop H Staff Cmdr.

For Exec Staff they use HQ-1 -> HQ-999

I guess nothing much has changed. HQ-810 use to be heard in this area frequently. How does the MDC1200 distinguish between (example) H1-28 and HQ-28 at the CDC??????
