Phoenix PD Question

[jambo]

Does anyone know which set of freq's a guy needs to use for Phoenix PD ? I have tried programing both the A & B and have had no luck. All I get most the time when it stops on a TG is that crazy chainsaw noise or only half the conversation.


Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Site A for pretty much everything. The other sites dont always carry all the traffic, only if a radio is affilated with it.

Thanks for the input. I'll load that site into both the ole Pro 96 and BCD396T and give it a shot.

I have seen a couple posts where people were not able to get a signal on site-a towers. Unforuntaly I'm pretty sure site-a is the only one that carrys ALL traffic all the time. I'm guessing it's the 'central' most site--always a radio affilated with it on all talkgroups.

For instance. Site-E-westside, if a phoenix unit was way out west towards transmitter, his radio would probably be affilated to that site so you would hear the traffic on the talkgroup he is on, on the site-e control channel. But still being able to hear him on Site-a, because other radios are affilated to site-a on that same talkgroup.

Once he comes closer to the site-a tower, site-e would no longer be 'active' and you would not hear him anymore on site-e.

Maybe someone should write a sticky on how the phoenix system works, and which sites are always active. I would but it's only speculation coming from me at this point.

Hey CTRL, I loaded Site-A into my radio last night, and I'm getting alot more traffic than before. So it looks like "A" is the one to have programmed in the radio. I appreciate your help on this one.
