That makes more sense, thanks.

Just hear DPS Austin Dispatch a few seconds ago, now hearing TCSO Baker.

I only hear one Constable TG (2551), but it's been that way since I moved here last year. I don't know if they just don't use them much or if I have something programmed incorrectly.

The linked TGs were, to the best of my knowledge, only APD. I'm still hearing TCSO, and other city police departments as well as AFD and ATCEMS. I think I asked about Over The Air Rekeying (OTAR) and if it was possible the other agencies could be programmed without every radio needing to be...

Pretty much what I heard as well. Just sort of gradually went away.

APD disappeared sometime after 10:00 this morning. That seems to include TGs I have listed as being for DPS.

Thank you.

I live a mile or so south of the UP tracks that run parallel to US-79. I've looked at the RRDB, but knowing nothing about train radio operations, I have no clue what channels to program in or what to listen to. I'm not a railfan, but would like to hear the traffic (if any) of trains going...

ATCEMS uses Talk Groups on the GATRRS system as of now, as do the EMS systems in Williamson County. It's interesting that while while Williamson County EMS encrypts their dispatch traffic, hospital notification traffic is in the clear.

Keep in mind also that there is a specific HIPAA exemption for emergency communications. Which is why ambulance to hospital communications are not encrypted just about everywhere. Also, the rise of various apps such as Twiage, Pulsara, the ESA Alerting app bypass traditional hospital...

As I've said before, the reasons are political and all of the press releases are just camouflage.

Sometimes these scanners are like little black boxes full of magic. ;)

Keep in mind that for the most part sheriff's departments in MA don't do patrol as they do in other parts of the country. They run the County Jail, House of Correction, transport prisoners to and from court, and in the case of Plymouth County provide crime scene service to city and town departments.

This may sound silly, but confirm the "Service Type." I've done that a few times where I've entered a new channel and forgot to select the collect service type. If the service type is incorrect and not one of the enabled ones the scanner will ignore it. Sometimes it seems that there are 100...

Come on, we're scanner geeks of course we're going to buy new scanners as soon as they are released! :)

I'm late to this thread, did you get the firmware to update? I had an issue when I tried to update using my ISP. My computer is connected to my WiFi and through that to the ISP. Either the WiFi or the ISP is blocking Sentinel from connecting to the Uniden server. I connected my computer via my...

There's a funny (for the time) clip from the 1937 movie "King Solomon's Mines" where the hero catches the bad guys off guard by predicting an eclipse.

That sounds right. It was a mainframe language, which I think COBOL is.

If it's not cloudy and raining I'll walk out on the patio to take a look.

I knew somebody who made a lot of money rewriting routines because of that. I forget what language it was, but it was obsolete for the most part and they brought him back from retirement to fix the problem. Which turned out not to be a problem. He still cashed the check.
