[Scan-DC] Multiple Tornadoes, Collapse, general alarm Chas. Cty. MD 19:15

Sun, 28 Apr 2002 20:46:00 -0400

I ran with the system for 10- years and we can not hear the mobiles
unless we are within 5 miles or so.  It's a real pain in the neck.
Don't feel bad if you aren't hearing anyone.

My understanding is that it is a "simplex" operation the mobiles
repeated onto the main frequency.  But like I said the mobiles don't
normally get heard unless you are close enough to hear them directly.

    I am hearing  the 158.775 mhz. (ch. 1) Charles County dispatch
transmission relatively  noise free near Petersburg, Va.  I thought it
was a repeater operation, but I am hearing only the base station, no
mobiles.  Is it a simplex or cross frequency operation?
