i believe the major outer channels (8, 12, 54 etc) are still active.. the counrty car's still need some comms in the city with vki. They are de-selected at vki. so from time to time u will here something.. and when they accidently select it..

channel 8 for southern entrance and 54 for eastern/northern entrance. maybe 64 and 12 for cars coming up from south west but im not too sure about that.

They still need some way of communicating with VKI so they have to keep a couple of the analog channels active. but they wouldnt be putting jobs or anything across, it would most likely be just general chit chat.
