I have a couple questions about these 700mhz and 800 mhz mutual aid channels listed in the database.
1. They list a frequency and an input. Should I be programming the input frequency also? Does that do anything for me?
2. On the APCO 25 Digital Simplex. If I have those frequencies programmed in to a conventional database on my 396 will it decode them should they be used?
3. Are those all the mutual aid channels. I heard Fort Lupton fire call out the ground contact would be on STAC "B" tonight at this crash at 85 & 22 1/2? Could have been an error on his part. I never picked anything up even though it's just down the road. What am I doing wrong? I've got this helicopter within a stones throw over here across the highway (Fredrick Firestone station 3).
I drive by that firestation every day. When I remember I look over, but I never see the helicopter. Is that thing hidden on the west side of the building or what?
Thanks,
Doug
