I live in the tidewater area of Virginia. I have three questions.
1, It seems I hear less state police radio traffic every month. Is more encrypted?
2. I see even the new police cars are equipped with a low band antenna. Is this for CB or is it for the old sirs mutual aid radio.
3. On that note I never hear traffic on the old low band sirs radio system. Some times I here a trooper self dispatch and tell the radio room he was notified of a incident from what ever county he is patrolling. Some times the radio room will dispatch to assist county units. Are they using cell phones in the vehicles and talking directly from the car to the local counties.
Thanks fore your help. I'm sure many of you have more experience on stars that I do.
