[Scan-DC] RE: Charles County Sheriff's Dept

[Ed Tobias]

Sorry, Al.  You're dreaming.  Montgomery County simulcast its police 
channels for only a couple of months after it went trunked.  The county 
continues to simulcast two of its fire-rescue dispatch channels, but only 
because 1) the tone-paging for volunteers is on VHF and 2) PG County is not 
on the trunked system.
