The lil one and I ended up travelling down 78 from Julian out to Highway 86 and south to I-8 ... Course I had the 296 (along with the 246T and Pro-92 heh) along and came up with the following ...

Was out in Brawley on Friday night and along the way had some traffic pop up on the National City system, which would include 863.250 control channel and heard what sounded like road crews on NCPD Disp 2. Didn't have time to do a search for anything else but found it interesting.
