[78-L] High fidelity/police freq

[don ward]

One of the first police radio frequencies was licensed to Los Angeles police dept for  KMA 367  on 1712 and later moved to  1730.
Most police radios were motorola that could be retuned to 1700+ which the fcc  allotted to the new  radio use in the 1930s.
