or DOT.

Conditions to activate the alarm are variable and depend upon the timing of the dispatcher

be involved.
Officer has the ability to turn off the mobile extender when off-duty, or when going to court,
etc., but will normally leave extender operating when on traffic duty.
If you're monitoring user-programmed frequencies, switch to one of the preprogrammed
frequency banks.
Sometimes, in a heavily congested area with a lot of radio transmitters (an urban area or an
area where TV/ radio towers are located), this always occurs. Try turning your squelch down
or locking out the offending frequencies.
