[TrunkCom] see and hear a scanner live

[James Rubin]

Shawn,

Falmouth FD is on the Cape trunked system (I keep all the info up at 
Mom's in Falmouth, so I don't have the ID) and as you say, they 
simulcast on 33mhz. What I can't figure out is why the Falmouth PD 
would migrate to 800mHz without participating in the Cape trunked 
system. They cover a fairly large area and you'd think they would. 
Maybe it was a funding issue.
  Any of you know the answer to this question on TrunkCom? That's 
Falmouth, MA. by the way...
Regards,
Jim
