It's really getting crazy on this 800 trunking system here. It was getting overcrowded when they piled in all the trash trucks, city departments, clean up crews for the Civic Center and airport stuff. Now last night and today, I'm getting a bunch of gibberish about kids playing a sport- tennis or something, and it was non stop. If there had been a major fire, it would have never gotten through all that rubbish. I guess now the school district sports department has taken it over. They were mentioning every kid's name, scores, who went to the bathroom, what bus they were on, you name it. Just ridiculous.
I'm about to decide anyone who wants in on it can just get a radio and start talking like the family radio service. It is way overcrowded.
I think this Pro-433 can be set to filter out talk groups I don't want, but it took Dick calling long distance from OR last year to help me even get it programmed to trunk at all. No one in Abilene knew beans about it. So, I won't touch it. Probably foul it good.
They just need to draw the line somewhere on how many services can pile in on the system. It has become a glut of communication hodge podge.
