There's a police dept here using a frequency licensed to a local farmer on VHF. They have a whopper repeater outputing there. We believe the dealer told them that since they are public safety, they can use anything they want as long as they have 'a' license for something. They've been known to put PS customers on the air in places they aren't licensed for.
