[Scanner] Montana's answer to an expensive problem

[WORKSNTV at aol.com]

Brennan said he recently learned of a less  expensive fix using communication 
technology known as crossband. He said the  system uses two radio repeaters 
that are able to translate the signals from the  different radio systems. The 
crossband technology uses a dedicated frequency so  city officers and county 
deputies only need to flip a dial on their portable  radios when they want to  
talk.
