[Scan-DC] Virginia state police

[chris johnson]

Ok this is crazy. I have noticed I don’t hear Virginia State police all day then I hear them all evening. Not sure if it is  conditions or if it is a control channel thing.

Turning it off and on would fix it. But, this was on the Arlington 800 system, not VSP. Worth a try if you haven't done it already.

In fact, a trooper said so.  There is even a 10 code for too much radio use.  I do remember VSP having practically constant radio chatter on the Division 2 and 7 channels before going to the STARS system.
