the BLAH-G

YAWN

It's just about 5:00 AM and I'm ready to go horizontial however I just wanted to post a quick piece of humor from our Westmoreland Co. 800 Mhz Radio System.

I know some of hue read this BLAH-G early (why, I don't know but you do) so I didn't want to make U wait until this afternoodle. I also have an observation directed to those of you that own DIGITAL AUDIO scanners like the PRO2096.

FIRST THE HUMOR

I am not going to tell you what Fire Chief this happened to early this morning as I don't want him walking around Braeburn all day with a red face, however this is what I heard...

911: "... and operations are on TAC 5"
Chief: "I acknowledge 911"
911: "Chief, you are on TAC 7, you should be on TAC 5"
Chief: "10-4 911"
911: "Chief... you are NOW on TAC 9"
pause...
Chief: "Sorry"
911: laughter heard

OBSERVATION

If you own a digital skanner then you will appreciate this.

Why is it that when a siren is heard on a conventional scanner frequency it sounds like a siren and when it is heard on a scanner with digital audio it sounds like a Cat in Heat ?
