NO. They DO NOT. AVL, or Automatic vehicle locaters are licenced by the FCC on various freqs and BANDS. Not many depts use a seperate
radio channel for this service, but some do. Most new systems use the same radio channels as the MDTs
and are set up along with the MDTs. Only a very few agencys use AVL. If there was a real need and the cost were cheeper, more may.
