Interesting discussion on this forum about radio communications among local law enforcement:

You are correct….NI units are Asheville area ALE units. They used to be NJ, but changed when districts re-aligned several years ago. ALE in this area currently carry 800 radios and can access either the Asheville city system and the VIPER system. They still have the lowband radios in vehicles and can be heard on 42.84 (ALE channel 1) and I have heard out-of-area units on 42.74 (ALE channel 2).
