[Scan-DC] Bay Bridge frequency change

[Joel Kahn]

William:

I think Mike is saying that after half a century (or more?) on the 39MHz band, 
the MSP equipment is nearing the end of its useful life.  I would guess that 
base transmitter parts are getting harder to find, and Motorola is probably not 
manufacturing the mobiles in that frequency range any more, either.

Since the State is sinking some large bucks into the F.I.R.S.T. system, I would 
guess most of the state's public safety communications are going there, sort of 
like what Virginia is doing with STARS.

For those of you that know I am a hard core Uniden fan, I just ordered a 
PSR800........just in case!

If GRE stops manufacturing scanners, I don't know if that makes the radios more 
or less valuable!
 Joel

Hi, Mike,

Your posts are helpful, informed, etc., over several years reading. 
So your short remark about MSP low band is probably anything but 
offhand.  Please help me understand the reasoning behind:
