there could have been photoed evidence of its end trip of the human digestive system before it began its trip to the local water reclamation facility.

I'm not sure if it is just a CT thing but we have "STOCS" frequencies in our UHF and VHF radios. At a multi-agency incident, a "STOCS BOX" is brought in and setup. Basically, it is just a bunch of radios that receive and transmit on all bands.


No matter what band you are on, you go to STOCS1, STOCS2, etc. and this will take UHF, VHF, 800, Low Band, etc signals and "repeats" them to each band. If you have VHF and I have UHF, we both go to STOCS1 and via these devices, we can talk to each other.


Never used it but, 2 of our border towns have these devices available should we need one.
