: I agree with you for being upset. They have no idea how playing with public safety could really hurt the pulic. And yes it does give is a bad name who do follow the rules. The only thing that I can not figure out is why they do it. I guess it is the thrill or something. What are the yellow vans radioburst was refering too? I am up in Traverse City Michigan and have never herd of such a thing. The state of Michigan has almost gone completly digital so people messing with public safety frequencies are almost gone. Oh yah, so is scanning them!

: I've been a resident of Pierce County here in Washington State
: for a number of years now. I've also been an active scanner
: listener, and monitor most of the EMS services in the area.

:
: The reason I'm posting this message is because someone has been
: intentionally interfering with Pierce County Sheriff's West
: Dispatch channel. They will typically key up and play music
: over the system at random times, for several seconds, and
: sometimes up to a minute or so. The problem has become so bad
: lately, that the Dispatcher has had to direct everyone to a
: different channel, to conduct operations.

:
: For those that are not familiar with this system, it is a
: conventional VHF system, that uses standard CTCSS sub-audible
: tones. Apparently, some idiot has modified a radio and is
: transmitting through the repeater. I would love to see this
: person caught and prosecuted. I realize that this may be
: difficult, due to the infrequent nature of the transmissions.
: If enough scanner listeners in this area monitor the input
: frequency of the repeater, we may be able to determine where
: this person is. It's people like this that really give our hobby
: a bad reputation. I sincerely hope this person is caught,
: prosecuted, and has to share a cell with "Big Bob". I will list
: the frequenceis.

: West Dispatch (Repeater input) 154.710
: " output 155.640

: Thank you for your help. SAC
