That's what a lot of eavesdroppers said in 1962 when SDPD went from
2490Kc to 155MHz. No more image frequencies on the AM-BC band to
listen to. Years later I pulled a 2-week summer tour at NavyMARS
at Miramar and discovered a couple hundred mobile units with AM
receivers for 2490 and FM transmitters for somethin like 74MHz.
Also found several dozen LAPD mobile units with the same setup.
Those early days were great for monitoring 'cause every agency in
the county shared that 2490Kc frequency. We could hear SDPD-Station A,
CVPD-Station C, Coronado PD-Station D, NCPD-Station Q, SDSO-Station M,
CHP-Station T, SDFD-Station F, Oceanside PD-Station O, and half a
dozen others. They all began to drop off HF and moved to VHF. SDPD
was the last.
