Thanks Raven

I actually have been on RR for awhile and I use win96 to program a raadio shak pro 2096
the problem is I get so many calls its hard to weed through to just the fire calls.. Let me ask you this question just to prove my virginity in radio scanning...

Whats the difference between Sites, and talk groups.. I think sites are the control frequencies and talk groups are the specific freqs for different entities. does that about cover it??

So do I need to use all control numbers including the alternates??

and lastly what is a simalcast??

Thanks for your time in advance

The System is ARMER.. The Sites are all the tower in the system.. The Site Frequencies are the Control Freq's, Alternate Control Freq's, and Voice Freq's.. Talkgroup ID's (TGID's) are the indiviadual channels for a site..

For St Paul Fire: Use ARMER Site #2-003 (Ramsey County).. There are no Control or Alternate Control frequencies.. So you have to enter the Voice Frequencies into the scanner.. Then you go down, almost to the bottom of the ARMER page.. and find "Ramsey County - Saint Paul Talkgroups".. Then enter the TGID's into your scanner.. And your ready to go..

For Minneapolis Fire: Use ARMER Site #1-009 (Minneapolis N - S Simulcast).. There are also no Control or Alternate Control frequencies.. So once again you have to enter the Voice Frequencies into the scanner.. Then go down, about half way, to "Minneapolis - Fire Talkgroups".. Enter your TGID's and your ready to go..

Simulcast refers to the process of transmitting the same signal from multiple sites on the same frequency at the same time.. See Simulcast - The RadioReference Wiki for more..

Good Luck!

I have a correction to my directions.. There accually are control and alternate control channels for the two sites.. Im still wondering how I missed them.. I guess i'm just used to one row of freq's per site..

Anyway, you would just have to enter the control and alternate control freq's now..

This, if still active which they may be for paging, is going to be as close as you can get with out listening to the ARMER system. If you want only Fire calls I would suggest just programing the Fire TGRP's.

The paging frequencies listed above are not used by Minneapolis or St. Paul fire depts. But surrounding cities still do conventional paging for calls and call backs.
