Does EFD and or VCFD (county fire) do daily radio checks on the EDCAS system?

If so, what time?

Have collected and identified quite a few RIDs in the past couple of months, and usually the daily radio checks are a great time to fill in the gaps....

Thanks in advance.

The dispatcher does a daily 6pm pager test where she sends out all the tones, but usually nobody replies back.

mikesjoint, I would look at a Uniden 396XT for a handheld scanner and a Uniden 996XT for a Base scanner. I would also look at a Uniden Home Patrol HP-1. All three will work just fine in the Evansville/Vanderburgh County area.

thank you so much, i have been reading on here, and oh boy at the messed up laws there about scanners,,,unlawful outside of your home, unless an amatuer license holder, just like kentucky, i guess im glad to be in tennessee in this reguard.

Thank You
