CHP aircraft (ADS-B disabled) apparently caused an RA with inbound Fedex 86 (N851FD, #ABAB90) this evening reported the RA over the radio but indicated no action was required so was likely a "monitor vertical speed" aural warning which matches the geometry (both a/c level, CHP 500ft below)

CHP flying this late without ADS-B is clever (perhaps unintentionally) because TIS-B only works when there are client aircraft nearby... if there's no traffic (such as late at night), no rebroadcasts are triggered, no TIS-B tracks

on a night like tonight tho, you can still hear them... they've transitioned over downtown a couple times tonight and the turboprop sound signature is pretty distinct even if it's pretty quiet overall audio cue enough to know to scan the sky, and then ofc night lights make it easy to find the a/c
