The St Louis City Police 800Mhz Trunk Radio System consists
of 2 sites with 800Mhz repeaters.  The system allows for the repeaters
of 1 site to be active, at anytime.  So for now on, on Wednesdays, the
system will be switched over to the Alternate Site.  The Alternate site
is located at the South Patrol Police Station at Arsenal & Sublette 
(or 3157 sublette).  

What this means is that for those that monitor the system from 
South City, South St Louis County, Jefferson County & western
most St Louis County, the reception quality should improve every 
Wednesday.  So for those that are located in the fringe South -and- 
West areas from St Louis City, try tuning in on Wednesdays.

Of course, the primary site is at:  1200 Clark (Police HQ) in 
downtown St Louis City.
