I did a few searches didnt come up with much... does anyone know where I can get the a full list of the frequencies/info for the Trunked system. And if anyone happens to know what happens if you plug those frequencies into a non trunked scanner... would you get any useable signal or is a trunking scanner required. Trying not to have to upgrade if I don't have to. Thanks!

Hi Everyone, Wanted to drum up some support and extend and invitation to our upcoming golf outing on May 1st, Saxon Woods GC, spots are open but filling up fast. Please see the attached flyer for details. Thanks! Reliance Golf Outing 2013.pdf

You will never fix stupidity, last year we had the same driver strike the King St. overpass on the Hutchinson/Merrit Parkway not once but TWICE in a one or two month period....the only joke is which state gets the cleanup job depending how far the driver makes it under the bridge without spilling the cargo.

Does that LED light tower require a generator to run?

I wonder how this would have gone down in the pre-911 era. Way too many people calling 911 for mindless reasons these days (in general).

How the hell does this happen?! What a tragedy!
