Martin County NC New Frequencies?

[baldheadg]

Martin County Sheriff, Williamston, and Robersonville Police have all vanished off of 155.0100 MHz. Does anyone know how to listen to them now? Thanks for any help.

I would say that they have moved to VIPER has they have new talkgroups there

Martin Co. Viper Talkgroups have been released.

It is strange that they didn't cross patch Vhf & 800 Mhz channels together.

I know Union Co. is cross-patching everything across both 800 Digital & Uhf. Which is great.

Radio Shack Pro-163

Can a Radio Shack Pro-163 listen to the VIPER system. I hear the control channel listed for Martin County VIPER but it makes a garbled noice all the time.

Unfortunately not. The Pro-163 is an analog only scanner and Martin Counties' talkgroups are in a digital voice format. You will need to consider acquiring a digital voice capable scanner such as one of the ones listed here in the RR.com Wiki:

Williamston PD are indeed on VIPER, Loud and clear in Edenton. Better than they were on the VHF Hi band from here. I dont know any of their unit numbers so can't tell if the Sheriff moved, but they are not on the old VHF freq. I did look up a few locations of some of the calls being dispatched and they were in Williamston (TG 06880 if I remember right)

Thanks for the Information

Richard,

It is nice to know there is a radio professional close by, I live in Martin County. You are correct. The Williamston PD, Robersonville PD, and Martin County Sherriffs Departments have all moved to VIPER. The EMS/Fire is still on VHF for now.

The RR Database needs to be updated for Martin County I guess but I wouldn't know how to do it correctly with the Talk Groups, etc.

Thanks so much to everyone for the information provided.

I have updated the Martin County database listing with a link to the VIPER database listing and removed the no longer used frequencies.

Thank you,
