    Zip Code Search Returns All Sites

    It seems that when I do a zip code search (29420, for example), I get the local trunking (P800) talk-groups I'd expect with my distance setting, but all the sites statewide. I would have expected to only get the local sites, too. Since there are over 300 site freqs in the state on this system, I...

    Programming control site frequency?

    WHen you program the control sites frequencies, do you program them in order that this website has them? Or by color? I watched a video and he said I should put the controll frequencies first red and blue. then put the other ones in. But can’t find anything to support that.

    Do all of the sites in the Colorado Springs area broadcast the same traffic? Do I really need to monitor all of the sites around town, or should I monitor the closest one(while at home)? Are there agencies that only broadcast off certain sites? I assume Woodland Park doesn't broadcast on the...
