If you have 155.31 programmed with a CTCSS tone, get rid of it. See if you hear anything then.
Seach the FCC database for new licenses, modifications to existing licenses, or frequencies that aren't in the RRDB.
Search the City of Azle web site for council minutes and agendas for bids for new radios and/or interlocal agreements for use of other cities' radio systems.
If they switched to the Parker County or FWRRS trunked systems you most likely will have to search those yourself to find the talkgroups.

You might also try listening to the feed at the link below, and see if that helps locate them.

You might also try 154.7625. It's listed on the an Azle license but I see no reference to in our DB.

This license WPEN433 (AZLE, CITY OF) FCC Callsign Details has two repeater and three mobile/control station frequencies.
Somebody should determine if 155.6775 or 155.6925 is the input to 154.7625 and submit the correct info to the database.

155.6775 is the input to 154.7625 with pl 82.5 for Azle P.D.
Channel 2, for license WPEN433. The input has a different
pl that I would rather not list.
The 154.7625 does not have the same coverage or power as
155.3100 does, that might be why some are having a hard
time receiving it.
I have never got a hit on 155.6925 so I don’t know what it’s
use for.

Very good. It is the policy of RR not to list (or even store) the input Tones to public safety systems.
Thanks,

My understanding is that when sprint went on the tower the platform broke free a day caused the main antenna to wind up at a very weird angle affecting performance.

Azle PD problem is interference on 155.310mhz. The problem is Glen Heights is now P25 with a nac of 293. I receive the Glen Heights signal very strong in Azle on my XTS5000 handheld. Glen Heights is in northern Ellis County. Azle PD is using 154.7625 mhz

Azle PD primary should be up again. A couple of things about it...
The cause of the site going down was due to a loss of power and a missed tick mark in the KPG software causing the repeater to reboot with repeat mode disabled.
The big issue with the repeater was water intrusion of the 7/8" heliax which caused coverage issues. As of today, the DB224 and 7/8" heliax was repalced with 1/2" heliax and a Telewave ANT1506-9 (look up there and look for the antenna that sticks out color wise) which also offers a little more downtilt over the 224.
The repeater was previously in a voter configuration which has been unhooked for the time being with plans to eventually bring it back online.
Also worth noting the Azle FD repeater's antenna was little crooked and has now be straightened out.

That's good... Their handheld radios didn't work on the other side of the lake near stinger field.

I did Pelican Bay's FD repeater's antenna and feedline replacement Friday...that one had a blown fuse in the TKR. Took down the Ringo Ranger looking 1/2 over 5/8 antenna, the mess of RG-8, 7/8 heliax, and 1/2 heliax that fed it and ran a straight run of 1/2". Haven't checked on that one to see how it's performing though.

I cringe thinking of how many life safety-critical public safety repeaters are running on installations like this. Bet they didn't have backup power or proper grounding/surge suppression either. And watch out for the breaker/fuse on the PA on that TKR. 5W exciter power gets out surprisingly far, but not nearly as far as 100.
