Georgia Highway Patrol frequencies???

[kd8x]

I was driving through Georgia the other day on my way to Heflin, Al and was wondering what frequencies the HP use in Georgia? I saw a channel or 2 on Atlanta TRS systems but what about out in the countryside? The troopers that I saw looked to have some 150 mhz antenna on there cars but I don't find any data in the radio ref database to give me a clue??? Any help would be aprreciated.73 de KD8x.

Outside major metropolitan areas, look for dispatch on 154.6800 and mobiles on 154.8000.

the reason you haven't found any thing is because its the Georgia state patrol not highway patrol heres a list of frequencies
154.68000 Car-to-Car
154.93500 Statewide Base-to-Base FM
154.90500 Statewide Car-to-Car FM
42.02000 Statewide Low Band FM Interop
154.80000 Car-to-Car (Savannah area)
155.47500 NLEEF/car to car I
155.91000 Metro Atlanta GSP
458.48750 Mobile Extender
765.43750 Mobile Extender FM

Don't forget 765.4375/PL 156.7 car repeaters. Active more and more.

the 154.905 and 154.935 is for all law enforcement agencies in Georgia. Around Houston Cnty there is plenty of traffic on 154.680 and 154.800.

Just to be clear,

GSP uses two simplex channels in a DUPLEX configuration. Like b7spectra (hey mike) said, they use 154.680 for base to cars and 154.800 for car to base. If you're close to a trooper on a road stop, monitor the 458.x and 765.x frequencies (listed above). Those are the Pak-RT (aka "pack-rat") style in-vehicle repeaters. Also, many troopers talk car to car on 154.680, since they can easily chat and listen when the Post dispatcher calls.

Look for GSP to be on neighborhood 800MHz trunked systems. Most troopers, across the state, have local access and/or talkgroups (e.g., Tift County, Atlanta). Wherever 800 MHz is used, expect to hear the troopers' in-vehicle repeaters on the 765.x frequency. That's a trend we all have monitored recently.

As a practical note, I usually travel with one radio set on 154.800, while in my home state. If you can clearly hear the trooper, that's your clue to slow down...

Like the GSP duplex system, 154.905 and 154.935 are two simplex channels used as a pair. If you are talking car to car, both are on 154.905. If talking base to base, use 154.935. Base to car traffic is on 154.905 and car to base is on 154.935. All CSQ, as are the 154.x frequencies for GSP.

The state car to base system isn't as heavy with traffic as it used to be, but then carrier pigeons aren't in as great of a demand either.....

Thanks for a good explanation of the system there. Really helpful..73
