State Police / Trooper , DPS freqs

[Croaker90]

Does anybody know the freqs. for the Texas State Police? I am in South Texas in Corpus Christi, and I heard on the U.S. Marshall freq. that there is some drug trafficing, and said attention State Police ..... SItuation...

I want to listen to the state police to see what happens, and if they catch them.


I would like to know what they are if they are EDACs, Trunked, Digital. Or know any good websites that have them.

TEXAS, STATE OF KJR320 159.27000 2002-04-17 1 0 FB2 PW GREGORY

I don;t know if those are state police because there is like 50+ different freqs.

Texas DPS is in the database, listed here:
http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?aid=71

Most regions have converted to P25 (not sure about your region though).

 

[Croaker90]

Can you tell me what P25 is?

Would a Pro-97 Handheld scanner pick that up?

I looked in the index of the manuel and couldn't find P25.


Thanks for help though, I will see if they work.

[edit]
My region is #3

P25="Digital".
The Pro-97 is an analog-only scanner.

 

[Croaker90]

Ok, Thanks.


I guess I will try and sell this one, and save some money so I can buy a digital scanner.

Can Digital Scanners pickup analog freqs to? I think they can, not sure.

I don't know what is better, a base or handheld digital scanner.

Yes, a "digital" scanner will scan both P25 as well as analog frequencies.
"Better" is subjective to which you need... either to be able to take it with you or if it will be a base station or mounted in a vehicle.

US Marshalls freq's

What are these frequencies? I live in Corpus and I didn't know they were listed here, and now that I do I still can't find them.

I have the Uniden 396T. It is a digital scanner so I am able to pick up the DPS, although it hardly seems worth it. There seems to be little traffic that can be picked up in Corpus and most of that is plain 'ol license checks.

Thanks for the border Patrol freqs, I had no idea what they were. I also thought that Port Aransas went to an encrypted edacs system.
