Hey Glen and all,

Actually it is not odd at all Glen. This was expected on these 380-400 MHz 
systems. As I have covered in previous MT Milcom columns and on some of my 
online post one of the main purposes of these systems is interop with their 
civilian PS neigbors. Don't be surprised if you see more of this, especially 
in the Capitol Region and related systems.

On Friday, 13 October, on the Joint National Capital Region (Fort Belvoir, 
Virginia) System (380 Mhz) they were simulcasting a channel from the Fairfax 
County's system.

On Ft. Belvoir TG126 they were carrying the simulcast of Fairfax County 
TG16848 (Channel 2 -- Mount Vernon/Franconia District Dispatch).

Tonight they are simulcasting Fairfax County TG16944 (Channel 6 
Franconia/Mount Vernon District Dispatch), again on Belvoir TG126.

This is going on as I write this.

These two Fairfax County channels are patched together for dispatching --  
only one channel is active on any given day. These two districts border Fort 
Belvoir.
