Field testing began Monday for Radio Coverage for Troop-A of the Highway Patrol.

Troop-A covers the Kansas City region, including Platte County.

The survey’s are typical to test the effectiveness of current or improved radio systems for the Highway Patrol.

The testing will be for the entire coverage area of Troop-A. The public is asked to watch-out for slow moving unmarked cars, particularly on rural routes. The vehicles will be occupied by a current or retired trooper and a Motorola employee.

The testing is expected to last until December of this year.
