[Scan-DC] Shots fired on I-270

[Doug Kitchener]

By the way, MSP also has vehicle repeaters that are on VHF high band... I think it's 155.73... but you won't hear that unless the car is close.  It's on Radio Reference, but as I mentioned, I was having trouble with that site a few mins ago (and still seem to be...)

If I remember right, the troopers' radios that they carry operate on that freq so that when they are out of the car, their radios key up the car sets - does that sound correct?

> The low band signal is very active. I hear it best in the car driving up and down 270 and I use it as a back up when 800 piggy back channel is not heard because that scanner is on another channel. Generally if I am on 270 or in the area I can hear both sides of the conversation, but when I heard frederick on 39.40 I can only hear the dispatcher until I get closer to the barrack. Generally I have always found that if I can hear the officer on the low band channel that means he's really close. Works well as a heads up for those with the heavy right foot syndrome. :)
