That's interesting.  What will they be doing?  Here in Michigan our system
has its issues, but there is either a love attitude or hate for the most

program the local PD in with the repeaters I hear, and am doing to the
extent I can, but as I said with more and more going digital or trunked it
is getting to be more of a challenge.
