Hunsville state trooper?

[scannerman200]

I will be traveling thru Huntsville & want to knw what trunking frequencies & talkgroups to put in to hear the state troopers?

Check the RR database for Alabama & click on: Alabama Dept. of Public Safety 800 MHz Trunked System as they have a talkgroup that covers Huntsville, also Alabama Highway Patrol has a VHF conventional system. I hope this helps.

This may be of some interest to you.

Well, All I want to hear is the dispatch & car to base. What ids should I use & what control frequencies should I put in?

[AlabamaRS]

Department of Public Safety Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference I would program em all. MOST DPS will be on the VHF freqs. Car to base are simplex & would have to close by to rx the cars

Are the AL State Troopers using the EDACS and patching back down, or are they on VHF? Who's using EDACS? I have a psr600 I am having issues with programming if anyone has this already in a .p500 file. So I can look and compare and learn.

Thanks

For Huntsville/Madison County, your best bet is to program in the entire list of Trooper frequencies.

Plus, you should put in:
154.875 - Madison County Sheriff Dept
154.385 - Madison County Volunteer Fire Dispatch
462.975 - HEMSI Ambulance Dispatch

If you're "trolling for smokeys" or "Kojacks with Kodaks"....
Keep an eye on, or set alert tones, to the input frequencies listed for the Troopers.

If you hear one, you're too close. However, a trooper does not usually radio in a traffic stop location until AFTER he has already stopped the vehicle and spoken with the driver. Usually, if the trooper's on the radio, they're either writing a ticket or a warning.

Since they operate split-duplex, troopers will talk car-to-car on the output frequency of the repeaters.

Troopers will also use NELE 155.475 as their car-to-car. Especially, when they're writing lengthy reports at accident scenes.

A majority of their communications occurs on Southern LINC, so it has become rare to hear a lot of Trooper radio traffic in Huntsville.

Madison county troopers usually scan the sheriff dept dispatch, and routinely back up deputies on "hot" calls. Also, they are occasionally heard on county fire dispatch. Usually, this is to request the exact location of an accident and they are requesting the best directions or for which way to approach the scene.

Feel free to PM me if you need anything...
Happy scanning,

So the troopers are not using the EDACS system? If not, who's using it. I just want a reason to put it in and verify I have it set up right. I have the TSYS in and verfied the control as first channel and the rest in what I believe is the proper order. But not hearing anything. My understanding years ago was they would use it and it would be also simulcast on the EDACS. Just want to have both in there and I was listening to VHF to check and see if it was right.

for most part the EDACs is dead except in very seldom used in some ares , 90% is on the VHF & other is on SL
