I have been scanning since 1974, yet with 800 Trunked Digital ... I m a newbie.
One thing that frustrates me and will be question #1) is that on a system such as MPSCS; when listening to Monroe Co simulcast system, user ID's pop up that are not on the Monroe County Database. It is time consuming to look up the user id numbers agency after agency to see who it is? So... is there a cross reference method or faster way to say ...input user ID 2345 (example) on a PC or the scanner itself, or on anything,and see what agency/group/user on MPSCS that is assigned to QUICKLY?
Question #2) I inputted all the freqs on the MPSCS on the Adrian MI Tower. Why was I receiving Monroe County and Washtenaw on this tower? I had ID scan/search on search. Is this a common thing with "site neighbors". I know I could stop it with ID scan and only monitor ID's I have inputted, but I would like to know why I can hear Monroe County Central Disp on this tower? Not saying its bad, just like to know the why/protocols?
I think its cool actually.
Question #3) If I input a user ID such as Traverse City PD down here in Monroe Co, will I be able to hear their traffic? Please explain answer whether Yes or No.
I have been itching for a 800 Trunked Digital for 6 years now. Finally made the plunge after I moved to Monroe from Lenawee County. I hear that the slow and lagging Lenawee County is finally going to join MPSCS in a few years.
Thanks.
