Help me understand why this is. Listening to state police, on a conventional frequency, the officer's transmission occasionally starts making weird sounds and dispatch will call back for them saying, "you went digital, repeat their traffic." Again, that's on a conventional channel and it has occurred while using my sportcat 180 and the psr 500.
Then, on occasion, when listening to the local police, who are digital, and on the psr 500, the exact same thing happens, and the dispatch there says the same thing.
So, why does a conventional channel "go digital" and why does a digital channel/frequency, that is not encrypted, also "go digital." It's not a distraction nor annoyance, I'm just wondering why/how that happens. Seems to me that could be a terribly dangerous thing if it happen at just the right inconvenient moment.
