     The news story said three fire trucks showed up at the scene and the CHPer asked all three to move their rigs. Two complied and guess who didn't. Does that make a difference now? I don't know. From reading various online sites, it seems the civilian consensus is to fire the CHP officer.

     Visiting on biz here and a CHPer came in to Starbucks with an HT on his belt. I know CHP is VHF Lowband but the antenna on that HT looked like it was also for VHF Low... Really long. Do they really carry Lowband HTs? No vehicular repeaters for VHF or UHF link to their vehicle that repeats to their Lowband channels? How well are VHF Low HTs working for them?
