jimmnn said:Nope no talk groups have been available in the metro area, Mountain NewsNet has dispatchers in NW Colorado that have been monitoring it directly and I will be there on Sunday for a week and plan to try to set up a feed so other's can enjoy the communications as well.
DTRS allows statewide coverage but that's only if a radio is local to you and tuned to the talk groups being used so for example a trooper based in the Durango area is visiting HQ in Golden for training and leaves his radio on a SW Colo talk group then you can hear traffic from there but only as long as he's in town.
Hope that makes sense.

jimmnn said:Nope, can't be that easy. You can listen to your local agencies that are affliating with your local control channels.

cstockmyer said:Ok that makes a ton more since. In order to listen to the system, you have to be able to hit their control channel. How far away have people here been able to get control channels in?
cstockmyer said:Yikes, and how many scanners do you have going at one time? Just out of curiosity.
