Spokane County SO last night. On channel two. Hard mounts where working, but most portables weren't getting through. IIRC, they have a remote receive/ voter circa 1970's. Got fixed relatively quickly. Never heard this happen before. |

Another possibility...they have mobile extenders in their cars too...one channel in their portables just reverses the frequency pairs and makes their car radio duplex for a better signal to the main repeater. I believe the tones are different for that also but not positive. When I was with the FD, we had that on the Command vehicle for the areas down in the scablands down SW around Badger/Williams/Chapman Lakes where radios didnt work real well to begin with. |

Radio 'roll called' ever district, so it was county wide. The SW is a trouble spot, the nearest high point would be Steptoe. It's 'Old School' down there, chuck yer portable. Are there still 'extenders'? That sounds 'CHiPs'. |
