The radio frequency by which Fire, EMS and localpolice are dispatched and operate on. Most often run by the county to cover Fire, EMS and police dispatch on a county wide system. Named the Whacker Radio because a Whacker will listen to these broadcasts on his\her scanner or two way radio, often at a volume where everyone around them can hear every word.
(Inside a medical transport ambulance)
EMT1: What the hell is that noise?
EMT2: That's the county radio.
EMT1: The Whacker Radio? Why the hell do we need that on?
EMT2: Because I'm listening to it.
EMT1: (sigh) You're one of those damn Whackers aren't you?
EMT2: Damn right, I take that as a compliment!
any EMT, Firefighter, Rescue worker who enjoys his job simply for the pleasures of:
A - Hearing their own voice on the radio
B - Using the lights and sirens on the ambulance/firetruck
C - Using lights and sirens on their personal vehicle
D - A lifetime subscription to Galls because of the sheer amount of stuff ordered from them
E - Having more stuff on their work belt then Batman F - Only showing up (whether they were dispatched or not) for 'good' calls (car rollovers, structure fires, High angle rescues)
A person that sits in their parents basement listening to scanners, and posting the information on their shitty firewire, or emergency alerts facebook pages.
