I've got what is a embarrassingly simple question I'm hoping you guys could help answer with regards to ICIS and listening to various agencies etc.
I've been monitoring LAPD, LASD, LAcoFD and quite a few others for years and years with no problem on my uniden scanners, I've got different favorite lists and systems setup for the different areas I goto and turn them on/off via QuickKeys as I drive around. [for example when I'm in the valley I've got a FL with LAPD, LAFD, CHP etc that only has those areas. Same with Hollywood. West Hollywood. EastSide, WestSide, downtown etc] It helps me only hear local things which I prefer.
That said, I've always had trouble listening to things on ICIS because i find the whole scheme confusing. Perhaps someone can help me.
for example. if I'm in Burbank, and want to hear verdugo fire and burbank PD, I'd have those TGs enabled but which sites should I have turned on/off? Are they both on the P25 system or is one and another separated.
Same goes for Beverly Hills, Glendale, Pasadena, Culver City, etc.
is it possible to organize a trunked system that way to where I've got a simple 'Burbank" favorite list that has only the burbank agencies/sites or no?
I get confused as to whose on white sites, whose on which system and though the database helps, there's a lot of duplicate agency stuff in there.
Just wanted to get some clarify on your best tips/tricks.
