I think it's just PR hype to make people believe that the CHP had something special.
In reality they did have something special, it was called a Motorola 2 way radio
That's true,...and on that note, did you know that CHP radios were specially built by Motrolla for specific CHP use only. Yep, California Highway Patrol radios. They say so on the front.
The "special camshaft", could be hype, but the CHP had a lot of "special" requirements of vendors/manufactures and requirements of their own fleet, and mechanics; it's interesting when you start to delve into it.
