Dayton PD likely uses the City of Dayton Motorola Type II 800 MHz analog TRS while at the Dragons' games (unknown talkgroup - I scanned the TRS input freqs but didn't hear anything related to the game. In fact, I didn't see any PD at the game whatsoever despite there being 8,500 people in attendance).

Expired FCC License for the Lansing Lugnuts WPJH288

Misc. Lansing Lugnuts scanner observations:

  • I attended a game in Lansing in 2005 but didn't bring the scanner due to Michigan's strict scanner laws. I saw many 1/4 wave UHF antennas on the staff radios. A private security company patrolled the stadium. The city parking lot attendant had an 800 MHz Motorola radio (probably on the city TRS).
