Listening to different states probably wasnt easy. It was probably not really tough in the one-way AM days, but FM isnt good for long distance, and most of the early FM two way stuff was on what we now call "Lowband VHF", about 30-50mc.
There's an exception. These frequencies are subject to "skip" like a CB radio. You might hear someone from another agency a long way away. Up here in Washington, lowband VHF isnt used much anymore, but those agencies (and businesses) that do use it hear others a long way away, usually in the deep south. There is no way to predict exactly what area you will be hearing.
