A car-to-car shooting on I-77??  Wow, that one didn't make the news or the 
paper, so much as I saw!  Interesting! 
 
Hold on - let me check my copy of Police Call..... 
 
 
 
OK, I've found it.  Here's what it lists for the City of Parkersburg: 
 
154.3400 ----- Fire Department Base 
153.7700 ----- Fire Department Mobiles 
155.4900 ----- Police Department 
156.1500 ----- Police Department  
 
The 156.1500 freq may be the one you are looking for. I have seen it  
listed on several local frequency lists as a "switchover" frequency 
and I have heard the officers on patrol tell HQ to go to switchover. 
However, in five years of scanning this frequency, I have only heard 
a conversation on it once and then only a part of it. 
 
Wait a minute!  Here's an old RatShack freq list that used to be free but 
now they charge $5 for.... :-(  It lists another freq for the Parkersburg 
Police Dept. as 156.8800.  It is marked as "detectives", but you will 
probably want to take that with a grain of salt.  Anyway, it is listed  
as ParkPD, and I have never really monitored this freq.  You may want  
to give it a try.  Police Call gives absolutely no listing for this  
frequency in an eight-state frequency listing, though. 
 
Please let me know what you find!  I'd love to listen to something new in 
that regard. 
 
 
Glenn
