Where I am, just SW of the Metroplex, I only hear a call on the DPS channels about once every 3 months. It's always a trooper who lives nearby signing off shift. Other than that, all DPS communication is through the cointy Sheriff's dispatch. I've even heard the sheriff call a Trooper to relay a...

Thanks to both of you for your input. I don't have the latest and greatest scanner, by far. I should be grateful I can get anything from FWFD at all; in fact for a couple of years I couldn't until a firmware upgrade came out. Some day I'll trade up to something that can track control channels...

I'm not doing anything to get it to receive voice again. When I get to Fort Worth, I turn it on and it receives until about 9:30, then goes quiet. The next time I go to Ft. Worth, I do the same thing with the same results. It seems strange that it is all the FWFD channels (locution, human...

I work a couple of days a week in Fort Worth near the 8th Ave medical area. On occassion I bring my scanner, programmed for Fort Woth FD, ambulances and the ambulance-to-hospital frequencies. Every time I monitor these frequencies, I find that at 9:30 am plus or minus a few minutes all these...

I'm a little late to this discussion. Like Widdowsson, I was listening in the early 70's from Anchorage when there were an order of magnitude more stations brodcasting. Even so, I was mostly picking up stations from Australia. I was rarely able to get any US stations. Just something about the...

I recently programmed in both of the repeater (FB2) frequencies shown on the FCC license info page for Lake Granbury Medical Center. Those frequencies are 463.9875 and 464.3375. I occasionally hear traffic on one or the other; seemingly never both on the same day as if they switch every few...

I have heard nothing on the 700 MHz Freq's. GPD apparently went digital on their original frequency over the weekend. I changed from analog to digital and put in NAC 7F3, which corresponds to their old PL tone, and now I get garbled noise when they transmit. Obviously, I'm not getting...

Maybe the new frequencies are for Granbury PD, which is dispatched out of the Hood County dispatch center. I have not heard a single PD communication in the last 3 days. I have also not seen or heard any updates about their system.
