[Elecraft] [KX3] Band Plans

[Todd]

CHP has totally upgraded their system.  They use 39,42,44, and 45MHZ 
inputs/outputs.
Most dispatch comm centers, but not up here in extreme NorCal, repeat 
the mobiles on
the main base dispatch channel.  Makes it easier to listen to both sides.

They run their extenders in the 700MHZ range using P25 digital.  They 
were supposed
to upgrade the whole system to a statewide 700MHZ P25 digital system 
covering
the whole state.  But, no money $$$.  Imagine that!

No more extenders on the old 154.905 freq (was a poor man's radar radar 
detector!)  ;-)

When I hear statewide CHP comms, or other state low band Highway 
Patrol,  I know
that something is happening on six...
