MSP and County Trunks

MSP has been allocated portables (and in some cases mobile units) to communicate with the trunk system in the area they serve. Typically these will be used unless the unit is out of range of the trunk or in a bad coverage zone, in which case they will revert to their standard loband frequency (or sometimes Nextel). Traffic is often echoed from loband.

Notes
  1. = Uses Phase II system. Requires use of the GRE PSR-800, Uniden BCD536HP or BCD436HP, Whistler WS-1080 or RS Pro-668 to copy.
  2. = Patched into the Upper Maryland Eastern Shore Consortium and the Dorchester County trunks
  3. = Uses FiRST, which is Phase II. Please see the Maryland State Police and the FiRST Migration article for talkgroups.
  4. = Patched into the Upper Maryland Eastern Shore Consortium trunk
