I have been listing to Gardendale PD on AFRN network since they moved but I recently came across 2 close call hits on my BCD996xt while driving through town and it was Gardendale PD. 801.???? & 811.3625 neither of these are listed in any database for any system. My BCD996XT decoded the date and I could hear them talking. Any idea whats going on here?

Input frequencies are very useful for event monitoring. A scanner that tracked inputs would be nice for big systems. For example, a close call hit or monitored input frequency programmed as conventional would automatically pair the output frequency and talkgroup of the system monitored.

I just reprogrammed my scanner for the AFRN for these and other agency's last night. i havent heard, coner, trafford, canecreek, morris or kimberly yet but maybe they havent had a call yet?

These are the frequencies I have programmed for the Warrior Site

I have not. Being all I did was borrow the sites freqs from the old system, I wasn’t sure I had all the info

 

[BHAMalan]

Is anyone one the western side of Jefferson Co able to help out with this?
I'm getting 856.31250 as SYS ID 46B, Site 027
This is the cc for the Providence site on the old Jeffco system.
I'm picking up talkgroups
941 Vestavia PD Disp
2665 Homewood PD Tac
3073 Birmingham FD Disp
3077 Birmingham FD Tac 1
3295 Birmingham BD Ch 10

Although I have been unable to receive that control channel from my station in Cullman, it appears to be a new AFRN Providence site that is not yet in the database. The Jefferson County Simulcast AFRN site is now reporting a neighbor site 4.27 with control channel 856.31250.

 

[eddiemax]

I've programmed all these sites as P25 to monitor JeffCo Ch2 Bessemer/River cars and the fire departments in Western JeffCo.

JeffCo Ch2 and Ch3 are often patched together, so the simulcast site is handy for listening at those times. I'm most likely receiving the Rock Mountain simulcast site since it's line of sight from my house on a hill in Rock Creek.

 

[eddiemax]

btw: Providence and Gilmore are not always active. Today they were broadcasting Bess/River car traffic on Ch. 2, but tonight they aren't.

 

[morganAL]

That means there are no radios on that Talkgroup affiliated to that tower.

Providence and Gilmore are listed on the JeffCo public service system. They aren't on the AFRN system. At times, you'll hear all Ch. 2 traffic on them and at others they are silent while Ch. 2 traffic can be heard on the AFRN simulcast.

They are Phase II. Baldwin Co is pretty much all Phase II
