I'm guessing you've been taking a break from monitoring that frequency for quite a while. AFAIK several years ago North Metro stopped simulcasting their main dispatch TG over 460.55. For quite a long time, that frequency has only broadcast initial paging tones for North Metro calls, only within Broomfield. That may have gone away recently as well, I haven't monitored it in the last week or so.
In any event, if you want to monitor North Metro fire and you live in Broomfield, you MUST have a P-25 capable scanner. Moreover, in many areas of Broomfield you can't easily monitor FRCC with any existing scanner, due to simulcast distortion issues. Unfortunately there are only a few "ideal" solutions, and none are cheap. Either get a Unication G4/G5 OR wait a few months and get the new Uniden SDS100 unit, the first scanner to support simulcast. You could also get a regular P-25 scanner for a few hundred bucks, but you may or may not have substantial issues with Simulcast distortion. There is a third slightly less cheaper option you could PM me about if desired, but it requires substantial knowledge of the P-25 protocol and radio programming.
