The Tucson Regional Fire Dispatch feed on Broadcastify is an official feed hosted by Tucson Public Safety Communications. The Left channel is A2 Dispatch Outbound, and the Right channel is A7, A10 and A13 fireground channels. Set your speaker balance left or right as desired, or put it in the...

I think you mean Border Alliance. 169.450. Lots of fun listening on that frequency in the 80s and 90s especially.

There is quite a bit of federal agency operations on PCWIN.

Sorry for the sarcasm. I thought you were asking how many sites they are getting. It's a good question you ask, now that I understand it.

You could click the link above and learn all about that. Or not?

My SDS100 scanners do indeed work well in Pima County. But not nearly as well as my BK-KNG and BK-KNG2 radios. There are pros and cons to each. You are not wrong that a public safety grade radio is a big investment (though for many a SDS100 is a big investment too). I assumed that because the...

If you want to use a public safety grade radio for monitoring PCWIN (as I do), you should get a BKRadio KNG or KNG2 radio. It allows true trunked programming in receive-only mode without a Syskey needed, without the unlawful hacking that the NAS method on Motorola radios invariably requires, and...

As importantly, after the OP moves there with his SDS200, and assuming it has the DMR upgrade, he can help us update the DB to reflect frequency, slot, color code, TG, and usage details for the mine.

PCWIN is really what you need for hearing Rural Metro. Their entry on the PCWIN page is good. https://www.radioreference.com/db/sid/7735

This is all true. But all that said, it absolutely is possible to learn what Simulcasts (or other Sites) a particular agency or talkgroup can "always" be heard on. Maybe they are sometimes also heard on other sites as needed, and you have no control over that, but you can at least know that "so...

I am now hearing Conyers PD Dispatch unencrypted on TG 10001 of the Conyers system same as always. Couple of hits today of encrypted traffic on TG 10007, perhaps a CID channel, but no encrypted traffic seen on the Dispatch channel. No encryption on public works or the other channels active on...

Is this SoCo system different from what DOT HERO units were using a few years ago when they demanded to go P25, saying the SoCo system threatened their lives? https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/2-investigates-gdot-radios-weren-t-working-in-some-areas-putting-your-safety-at-risk/1008144194/

Are you sure CPD is still on the talkgroups referenced on their system but are now encrypted? I've been monitoring the Conyers system this morning and, as the OP reported, I too am not seeing activity from Conyers PD - encrypted or otherwise. Rockdale County Sheriff dispatch channel is still...

Stephens County will be the gaping hole between the two. If Stephens could have participated, the simulcast cells could have probably provided some meaningful coverage infill for the other participants, such as where a Stephens tower happens to reach a Franklin or Habersham coverage gap, as...

Thanks for the tips everyone. Based on this, we won't bother acquiring anything new and will give the DTR radios a try. It definitely seems like every time I think there is a (non-repeated) communication solution that "should" work better than the DTR radios (including $3k P25 public safety...

Curious to hear from anyone who has tried various types of radios for group communication in a downhill skiing environment. My family (6 of us) is pretty radio savvy. We started with FRS radios years ago but quickly upgraded to DLR1060 radios for use around the neighborhood and especially on...

This. Years ago we switched our "family radios" to DTR/DLR radios (we'd used analog, DMR, and even P25 previously). The DTR/DLR radios are as good as it gets on a cruise ship, for example, but the building penetration aspects of 900 MHz FHSS also comes in handy for scenarios like basement of...

Good to hear. It's a great resource and a way to allow dispatchers to focus on more important tasks than reading the words on a screen aloud. Their job is so much more than that, especially the parts that require human intellect. Which system are you going to? Any idea which one DeKalb recently...

I do not. Only noticed the extensive repeater licenses across north Georgia.

Georgia Power also has a lot of 450 MHz repeaters in northeast Georgia (and maybe elsewhere) on which they are licensed for DMR and NXDN. Not sure what for, given the prevalence of their 800 MHz LTE operations elsewhere.
