Apparently the trooper still use Low band for car to car. I heard one approaching Turner on the Turnpike Dispatch TGID mention when he got closer he’d be on Low Band.

I could hear them (Troop YB) during the snow storm here in the Tulsa area this week while listening
with my TRX-1..and only after selecting CREEK COUNTY, instead of Tulsa county.

For some reason I could not hear them with either my SDS100 or SDS200.

To hear low band OHP, which I have never heard, I am assuming that in order to hear the traffic
you must be fairly close to the trooper. Is that correct?

Yes, close to a mobile if they are talking car to car. Of course a mast mounted base antenna really helps.

Like others have noted, low band as a dispatch channel seems to have gone the way of the dinosurs? You would have been able to hear the base stations from all over the state.......KKC...eight.....eighty three! HAHHAHAHAHA!

Yep, as stated above. The car to car I heard one on was 45.22 they were near I-40 and Douglas about a mile from me. However, only one car was heard.
