  • But I Just Want to Listen to the Police. Why Does This Have to Be So
    But I just want to listen to the Police. Why does this have to be so complicated? <sigh> Well, unfortunately the days of “enter this frequency to hear the police” are nearly over. Several major trends have converged that have resulted in police (and other agencies) moving to more efficient, “trunked” radio systems: • Higher levels of radio usage has meant that there aren’t enough individual frequencies available to allow every group to have their own frequency. • Technology advances have brought down the overall cost and complexity of implementing a trunked radio system while increasing the features available to the agency and individual radio users. • Roll-out of major statewide trunked systems makes it easier for even small agencies to “piggy back” onto the larger system for less cost than replacing existing systems. Of course, to the average radio user, the complexity of a trunked system is invisible. Their radio is programmed up at the radio shop. They can still easily select who they need to communicate with by selecting a channel on their two-way. They can even directly call other radio users without tying up a dispatch channel…something they could never do, before. The scanner user, on the other hand, needs to be a lot more savvy about the different types of Trunking systems in use, the different options available on each system, and a host of other arcania in order to successfully monitor their favorite agency. In this article, I’m not going to the level of arcania. Instead, this article will introduce the features that most Trunking systems have in common.
