Actually the story I know is that at least one police chief used to
listen to the dispatch channel for the squelch tails.  The radios used
in the cars used a reverse burst so there was no squelch tail while the
HT-220's had no reverse burst and a squelch tail.  This way he could tell
who was possibly taking a break at an eatery and who was in the car.

He was rather mad when he got his brand new Micor radio for his base
station which did not have a discernable squelch tail on strong signals.
