Re: [IRCA] TIS Stations in Washington

At one time, TIS stations could only operate on 530 and 1610, but that's 
long since changed.  They can now operate on any freq between 530 and 
1700, or  maybe 1710.  Locally, we also have TIS stations on 1520, 1500, 
1650, and maybe a couple of others.  530 is a very commonly used TIS 
freq in the Seattle area - the State has several of them around here.  
1610 is not used in the Seattle due to having locals on 1590 and 1620.
