[TrunkCom] Indiana Safe-T and Ohio MARCS updates

[Jeff Kenyon]

Hi everyone, believe it or not 155.37, & 155.865 is used rather
extensively in Michigan and even in areas where there are trunked systems
like Western Wayne County and down River and they boarder each other both
geographically and with regard to systems.  You hear them testing all the
time and different activities like chases.  Here 155.37 is for com cnter
to com center and where it applies either via a crosspatch or VHF radios
are involved 155.865 is used for car to car.  I rarely hear anything on
the conventional 800 MHz freqs in use, and what I have heard is mainly
test tones, but rarely anything.
