Santa Fe PD C-C
The other night while monitoring the SF trunk system, a unit requested 'car-to-car' with another unit - would this be accomplished using a second, separate analog radio? I am somewhat out of town and could not scan their tx/rx during the car-to-car comm., although the trunk reception is good - if anyone has any info on this, it would be appreciated. Thanks!
I was monitoring this system during November of 2011. Then, they were making changes in the operating frequencies or something. One day, when I was visiting, I observed a SFPD running hot in the downtown area. My radio went completely silent & was not trunking anything.
I returned to my motel and programmed all of the operating frequencies. Afterward, I was able to hear them again.
So, I don't know who is responsible for updating the RR DB for this city, but there is always the possibility that the all of the talk groups have not been included.
Other than getting inside information for the SFPD, an unlikely occurrence, you might run Wildcards to see if there are other PD talk groups. At present, I don't see any "talk" or "C-C" talk groups listed.
Sometimes, when C-C transmissions occur, particularly in larger cities, you might not hear them at all. Some C-C transmissions don't always go through repeaters. I'm also not ruling out C-C transmissions for older radios and/or VHF non-trunking transmissions. You might find them talking in search mode.
That is my response. Hope this helps.
