While returning from McLennan County last night I was travelling through Travis County when my PSR-500 started picking up chatter on Parks & Wildlife Channel 5 (151.3550MHz CT 110.9, for Travis County). So I switched my Yaesu over and parked on it. As I did that and temporarily l/o Ch5 on the 500, it stops on Channel 8 with the same conversation (500 never got a CTCSS tone- though that doesn't mean there wasn't one). The same conversation was being simulcasted on both outputs. I was too far away for this to be an odd input/output pair (and no where else in the state, that I saw, was one used as the input for the other). I've never heard this (to tell you the truth I rarely hear much out of Austin P&W from Hays County- only on tall hilltops usually) and have never heard anyone mention this practice.
Can anyone confirm this in another area of the state (with any channel pair) or can anyone verify that this is typical practice in Travis County?
