La Porte EMS/Fire - Not receiving

[MarsIsWaiting]

Hi all,

I have a BCD436HP with the DMR upgrade and I'm not receiving La Porte EMS (https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=8062) at all. It is a DMR Motorola Capacity Plus Single Site (TRBO); I am less than 5 miles from the transmission site; all service types enabled; if that helps any.

I don't have VHF DMR capability to check, but they had comm issues on a fire recently and were heard later doing coverage testing on VHF conventional which are normally patched to DMR.

154.13 and 155.625 carry fire and EMS dispatch for La Porte, respectively. The only traffic on the DMR system that couldn't be heard on those two freqs were some fireground tac channels.

Interesting. I manually tuned their Fire/EMS on VHF and could pick it up (albeit much lower quality).
