[Trunkcom] Wayne County (Michigan) TRS Update

[JEFFREY MICHAEL KENYON]

Also, Wayne County is also operating on DPD F-3 which is a UHF
conventional channel which is what the old Highland Park PD used to work
off of.  They had another freq for their own car to car ops, but I don't
recall the frequency, nor do I know what frequency Highland Park Fire is
being dispatched off of.  I can remember when the old type I system was
the only thing that was county wide you'd hear record checks coming from
locations throughout Western Wayne County  Has anyone heard any activity
on the new freqs for the new Detroit Public Safety TRS?  Also, what will
happen to the current Detroit type I freqs for their city services TRS?
