Do you mean the frequencies are the TGs? HPDB is updated most Sun evenings, and available for download on Monday morning...
Fort Worth Regional Radio System Layer 2
These are the frequencies for the Fort Worth Regional Radio System Layer 2.
I am not familiar with home patrol, can you enter the frequncies manually?

I did the database update a little earlier this evening. Many of the new talkgroups were updated in time for this weeks download. As mass-man noted, updates are provided on a weekly basis. As more talkgroup ID's are identified and submitted to the database, the list will continue to grow.
That's the link for the system frequencies for the layer that these cities are using. The system itself is here.
If you're scanning using the database only, not a Favorites list, make sure that you do the updates and let the scanner reload the systems, including FWRRS.
If you are using a Favorites list, you can either add the new talkgroups via Sentinel, or delete your current version of the Fort Worth Regional system. then go into the main database through Sentinel & add the updated system back to your list.
To delete the current system (from your Favorites list), just click to highlight it in the left side window of Sentinel.
Then, either <Right> click on the system, and select 'Remove from Favorites list', or just use the 'Delete' key.
To add the updated system, go to the main U.S. Database in the upper left of the screen.
Click on the "+" (plus) sign to expand the list of states.
Scroll down to find Texas.
Click the "+" again to expand the list of counties.
Scroll down to find either Denton, Johnson, or Tarrant Counties (the system is listed under any of those three, and is the same information in each case).
Click the "+" sign by the county name.
Now, click the "+" sign by the "County Systems".
Find Fort Worth Regional Radio System and click to highlight it.
Now, either <Right> click on the system, or use the "Insert" key as a shortcut. This will allow you to "Append" (add) the system to the list of your choice.
From the pop-up dialog box, pick your destination Favorites list.
If you've followed those steps, you now have the system, along with the talkgroups for NRH and other cities that have been identified so far. You can use the Edit Profile to go through and set items that are not of interest to you to "Avoid" (locked out).
Once you've made your changes, be sure and save them, then write the updated list to your Home Patrol.
Also note that not all the talkgroups have been identified & entered so far. Additionally, the other Tarrant County cities, currently on the analog system, will also be moving to this one over the next few months. You might want to set the system to ID Search, so that you'll see new TGID's as they become active (see this). Once they're identified and submitted, you can go back through the append process above to get the updated system in your Favorites. Or, just manually add, if they dribble in one or two at a time.
You can enter the frequencies manually, as well as create new systems, in Sentinel on a pc. You can't do that directly on the scanner itself unless you have the 'Extreme Upgrade'.
For the FWRRS, the layer 2 system frequencies, as well as Layer 1, Northeast Tarrant, Mansfield, and Johnson County, are already there.
