Thanks Dave.
My scanner is a Bearcat...I have been told in the past that the new type radios that the police and MP use, and other municipalities as well, transmit on one frequency and receive on another, with the frequencies paired for that particular channel, if I remember the explanation well. I think the State Police also operate in these different frequency band.

I do like having the dispatch channel so I can have an idea of what is going on, particularly in Alton and our surrounding towns.

Be well, Tis.
