I am trying to understand this system. I would appreciate if anyone could help me with a few questions.
I guess what I am trying to figure out is if, when a patrol car is on the network and on duty is it constantly connected (similar to a cellphone call) or does it behave like a standard two-way radio system?
Basically I am curious as to what frequencies are eminating from the unit at any given time. For instance, if a patrol car comes within range of my antenna is there any way to pick it up. I understand that the modulated information is unobtainable but is there a carrier which can be detected and cause a scanner to stop on that frequency?
Thanks in advance to anyone that understands what I mean and can clear this up for me.
