Yes, you should hear Help traffic at Bonaroo if you monitor Hippie Town. Thanks,

I don' think you're going to hear any Help Truck traffic from Warren County. You will need to be able to monitor some of the sites around Nashville (TN Towers, Sullivan's Ridge, and Cane Ridge) to hear their traffic. Since we do not run simulcast sites on everything, you'll need to be monitoring...

What part of the state are you located?

Obion, Lake, and Dyer counties are now in Jackson District 8.

That is an old map of the THP Low Band (40 mhz) tower sites, divided up by districts, before they moved over to the TACN P-25 system. The map was repurposed later as a PSAP map. Some of the northern counties that were in the Memphis District have now moved over to the Jackson District.

Memphis, Jackson, Lawrenceburg, Cookeville, Knoxville, and Fall Branch THP main dispatch talk groups are Phase II TDMA. Nashville and Chattanooga THP main dispatch talk groups are still Phase I FDMA.

Nashville THP Dispatch is currently Phase I FDMA and all of the TDOT help channels are Phase II TDMA if that makes a difference with your scanner configs.

For a base antenna, I would try this one: Ground Plane Scanner Antenna Kit | Scanner Master. It's not really expensive and should work pretty well. I use one at about 25' at home and it picks up several of our sites. Make sure you use good feed line with it. LMR400 would be good if the run is...

The only Coffee County talk group that he will be able to receive with that scanner is the 48138 Coffee SO 1 talk group which is still set to FDMA Phase 1. All of the other talk groups in that list are set to TDMA Phase II. If he sets his scanner to the Hippie Town site, he will only hear talk...

All TACN sites are both FDMA and TDMA. If your friend will just program the site into his scanner and just set the site to "site search" instead of site scan, he should hear whatever FDMA talk groups are on the site. On the Hippie Town site, he should hear the Chattanooga THP Dispatch 1 talk...

I'm more familiar with the Uniden BCD996 line of scanners but, if the SDS has it, you might want to put your Collierville zone in a talk group search mode instead of locking it down to certain talk groups.

I apologize if this is already posted but I could not find it looking through several threads. I'm running a Windows 10 desktop PC and I'm running 4 feeds. I'm currently using 4 external Soundblaster USB dongles for my 4 feeds and I'm always having trouble with my sound cards. I would like to...

THP in the Knoxville and Fall Branch districts Dispatch are Phase II TDMA Clear. All of Washington Co is still Phase I FDMA. The reason you're not receiving JCFD is probably because they may be encrypted.

Word is they are coming but it will be a 1-2 year process. They will have to build a site or two to cover the county.

Dist 1 and Dist 5 Main dispatch TGs are clear and TDMA now.

I think Ripley PD has gone to DMR. I think they're still using their 460.200 frequency but not sure what color code they're using or if they're encrypted. The next time I'm over that way, I'll check their channel with DSD and try to decode their info. Halls may have gone DMR also. The info you...

That system is only used for talk around (non-dispatch) traffic now. The agencies using that trunked system rely on their local independant conventional repeaters for daily dispatch traffic. Obion County SD and EMA are currently exploring the possibility of coming to TACN for their daily...

Thank you for the information.

I have a friend that has a Home Patrol II and an SDS200. We recently changed our local main THP dispatch talk group from phase I to phase II. My friend is no longer able to hear our traffic. We did not encrypt the talk group. Is there something he needs to do with the HPII and SDS200 to allow it...

I changed the Memphis Dispatch 1 to TDMA Monday a week ago, and the Jackson Dispatch 1 this last Monday morning. Starting after New Years I'll work on converting the remaining 6 Districts Dispatch 1's to TDMA. We did not change the power output at the towers, just changed the talk group over to...
