- I've got one local cab company that does this (ie: tx on one freq, rx
- on another). Any idea why they don't want the mobiles to hear each
- other? Are the drivers competing against eachother, despite the fact
- they're in the same company? Naw..that wouldn't work, as the dispatch
- would relay the pick-up location, and thus all the cabbies would hear
- it. Are they just trying to prevent chit-chat? Seems like a stupid system
- to me.
