ok so i guess you want location of my local police? um hatfield township police montgomery county hatfield pa
Looking at your county, Montgomery, in the
database, it may bee sadly out of date, and in serious need of updating.
As Larry already noted, if your agencies of interest (Hatfield Twp, and Montgomery County) are still using the Motorola Type II
system, then updating your program settings would get you back to monitoring. What's confusing to me, is that the county also has a new P25 Phase II system as well. Looking at that system in the system's
details in the database show a number of talkgroups for Fire, EMS, and Hospitals. Yet other than it's showing in the list of trunked systems at the bottom of the county's
page in the database, it's not linked to any of the cities fire or police sections on the page itself. Usual database practice is to show a link to trunked systems used in the area of the page where the specific city or agency is listed. The Motorola system is linked to each city or agency that it covers. The new system should be listed as well, if the agency has either moved, or might be using both systems.
As also already noted, the new system is P25 Phase II, which your 396XT cannot decode. To try and resolve which system is used by Hatfield and Montgomery County, I'd suggest that you have your thread moved to the Pennsylvania Forum. Someone either in, or at least near, your county may be able to provide clarification as to whether or not Hatfield, and other agencies, have moved to the new system. If they have not moved, then you can update your programming. If the move has occurred, then you would need to change to a P25 Phase II capable scanner if you wist to listen.
