This would be just like a highway patrol unit, except there's no Region 8 nor would there be Henry in the unit number. Any ideas who or what the unit was? View article »

And that I can somehow pay to upgrade my radio to access this? Just wanted to have some confirmation and guidance before blindly... Read more View article »
