Are they dispatched on the PSE Electric frequencies or do they have separate radios?

I don't remember seeing any antennas on any of the trucks.

One of my neighbors works for them, as the damn truck is on our street all the time...CB antenna with a Cobra CB inside; no other radios visible.

Ran into 2 Potelco guys at the local Starbucks and the only thing they had in their pick up was a Cobra CB but they both were carrying a Nextel unit and a orange Verizon "Boulder" cell phone / direct connect unit.

Location: South King County or the beach, usually one or the other.
I came across one of their trucks tonight in the parking lot where I volunteer one night a week. It is a large truck with a big cherry picker on back. It had a pole next to it, so I presume it is a "pole truck."

I climbed up and looked inside. There was no radio whatsoever in this truck. There wasn't an antenna on the truck thinking they might use one of the old "jerk and run" type radios. No radio type whatsoever.
