Does anyone know if radioreference has the correct details to be able to listen to them? Thanks

Frequency	License	Type	Tone	Alpha Tag	Description	Mode	Tag
154.72500	KSB392	RM	230 NAC	GRSO1	Sheriff Dispatch	P25	Law Dispatch

I would try the other frequencies as P25 with the same NAC code. You can probably search for the NAC code on your scanner.

Submit any verified changes and we'll update the DB.

I have garbled transmissions two miles from a tower. It sounds like a simulcast system to my ear. License data shows 8K70D1w, which comes back as “P25 linear simulcast modulation ASTRO.”

 

[m00ler03]

So I tried what tvengr posted and I'm not hearing anything, same with the other frequencies

Simulcast systems are very hard to hear on even the best current scanners. Look for earlier discussions about DaneCom for the reasons for it. Basically, our scanners are confused when the same transmission arrives from more than one tower. Posts going back a couple of years will explain it better than I can. Again, I’m assuming Green County now has a simulcast system because it sounds just as garbled as DaneCom. I could be wrong.

Try setting NAC to search.

I tried that with the Green County EMS channel earlier. Didn't hear anything when there was a EMS call

I monitored Green County for a few hours last night an this morning. There was traffic on 3 of the channels currently listed in the updated RR database. See attached image. The frequencies with the red indicators are the (only) ones that had traffic.

Confirming ALL Green County frequencies have been active except 154.160 after listening for several days

Green County is broadcasting simulcast off of 4 towers at the same time.

I know I'm in beloit and I can only pick up the paging channel . I can't hear anything else and I'm using an outside antenna that picks up departments 70 miles away but can't hear green in the next county. I can't even get them on WISCOM county scan TG but I can get dane on theirs

The information is correct. Green County switched over to Simulcast around the begining of the year or late Spring.
The only scanners that will pick it up as of this date anyway, are the Uniden SDS100 and 200 models. Maybe there might be another one, but I don't know which one they would be. Just so you know, they don't use the radio anymore than absolute necessary, so if you do listen, you may have a long wait until you hear them. They've been that way ever since I've had scanners which was in the mid 70's.

They are simulcast now. Uniden SDS100 and 200 are the only 2 that will pick them up. I also have an outdoor antenna on my tower and able to pick up Iowa County in Dodgeville with no trouble.
