Bob:


Here in  California there is a new trend...  Car license plate frames
with call letters engraved.

i.e.  "KA4993"  (and often a city is indicated).

It has replaced the  'courtesy card'  and alerts the police that either
you or someone who loves you works for the  'agency'/state/pd/so/fd  et
al.

Any ideas  what/who  the above call letters belong to?  A  search of the
POLICE CALL 1986  (the new issue is out  @$7.95 {radio shack})  shows
that all call letters of p.d's,  agencies,  state and federal,  have
three or four letters followed by two or three numbers.

i.e.   'KXX123  or  KXXX123  or  KWO37-(Los Angeles 24-Hour Weather
Service,  Mount Wilson,  US Government).

The above letters  (KA4993)  do not fit this model.  Any ideas?

Thanks,  Bob!
