I am new to this digital and trunking,use to have a RS 2004. Just bought a Pro-2096 Thought I had all the freq in for NCHP,Rutherford,Cleveland,Gaston Counties of N.C. And Spartanburg,Cherokke,Palmetto 800 of South Carolina,but yesterday I was sitting at desk just monitoring and playing around with scanner and my sister walks in and says what are the police doing outside(50 yards to a cross road) Here I am listening to it and didnt even know anything was going on they got a laugh out of it.It was only 2 NCHP and they were stopping cars even had several pulled to the side.Why didnt I hear anything?.......................Hate to ask but does anyone have a file for the above mentioned counties. I used Win96 and think I have all I need.

We don't know what you have programmed, but if you post your file I'm sure someone with win96 can look at it and add anything.

LarrySC will probably see your post, he has most of the good infor for your end of NC & SC

It is possible that the NCHP units were not conducting any voice traffic with Asheville dispatch, but rather checking drivers' license information and other DMV and CJIN queries via their laptops.

Looking at your Win 96 file, though, you wouldn't have heard any traffic from the NCHP units because you're missing some frequencies.

The low band NCHP frequencies, with the exception of channel 19 and the talk-around channels, are paired ... in your area, 42.620 is paired with 42.780 MHz.

Dispatch will talk on 42.62, and cars will respond on 42.780. Your file is missing the mobile side of the channel pair - 42.78 MHz.

Being that the NCHP cars were so close to your house, you might also heave heard them if one of the troopers was using the mobile extender, EXCEPT your file is also missing one of the frequencies in the mobile extender pair.

The mobile extenders allow the trooper, when they are outside the car, to use the low band radio via a high band handheld. When the low band radio is receiving communications, the high band mobile extender automatically keys up on 155.445 and broadcasts what's airing over the low band radio.

The trooper hears the communications on his handheld, which is receiving on 155.445. If he wants to respond, he keys up the handheld, which transmits on 154.920 MHz.

The mobile extender in the car is listening on this frequency, and receives the trooper's transmission. A relay patches the trooper's communications to the low band radio.

Your Win96 file is missing 154.920 ... the frequency you would hear the troopers talking on when the mobile extender is on.
