Taxicabs - Scan New England Wiki
is a good WIKI that I created for MOST of the standard
USA Taxi Cab Channels, altho many have begun to use
generic Business Band, as well as 800/900 Trunking.

just curious

Some of our Taxi's in the Boise, Idaho area are using the 800 MHz band. Some are trunked others are not.

IIRC and that is a big IF!

The original taxi VHF radios were setup semi-duplex. The base transmitted in the 152 mhz range and the mobiles transmitted in the 157 mhz range. The cars could only hear the base freq and the base could only hear the car freqs. It kept the drivers from chatting amoung themselves.
