: Lots of traffic on 62928, pursuing a bank robbery suspect.
: Lots of refrence to "3 to 4 bars", "10 bars", anyone know what this means?
Some PD's vehicles are equipped with a detection/direction finding unit mounted in the car that picks up the signal from a radio transmitter sewn into a bank bag. When a robbery occurs at a bank and the teller places the money into one of these bags, and the robber exits the bank the transmitter is activated. It allows PD units to locate the general area of the bags location. Bars indicate strength of signal and they can also tell which direction the signal is coming from i.e; east west.....They have handheld units for more precise directional info.
