Yeah I noticed that too. I get Barry Sheriff(3187) on different Primary CC
Still learning this new APCO 25 stuff.
The reason for this thread is because I hae sperated the primary CCs I can get to document which talk id's i get from which Primary CC
right now I get 10 Primary CC's good and 3 more so so that I need to be in teh certain of the house to get reception.
Just making sure I know what I am doing with entering Primary secondary CCs and the ones in the list that show nothing.
Shackman do you have a pro-96?
99% of the time if you have the primary control channels entered you'll be good to go. On occasion there will be a reason for a tower site to have to use the alternate control channel. In those cases if you don't have the alternates programmed in, you won't hear anything.
As far as which talkgroups are on which tower sites, with a few exceptions, talkgroups are not limited to only one tower site. The majority of the primary talkgroups are enabled statewide for any tower site. A talkgroup will only be heard from a particular tower site if there is a system radio affiliated to that talkgroup on that tower. That's why you don't normally hear MSP Detroit area posts in your area on a regular basis.
For the best chance to hear any particular talkgroup, you'll need to program in all of the tower sites that are near the agency that you want to hear. The nearest tower site will almost always carry that agency's talkgroup, but that's not a guarentee.
