Amarillo Fire Dept not a peep

[TowerPower]

Amarillo Fire has gone quiet the last couple of days. I’ve tried on both of my scanners. Still receiving Potter and surrounding counties. No updates on their frequencies on the Potter County list and the live feed seems to be offline so can’t cross check. Anyone picking them up or heard of any changes to frequencies or system?

Interesting. There doesn't seem to be any licenses issued that could account for a change in frequency lineup. Is there a chance with the eventual narrow banding that has to be complete they changed the tone they are using, maybe to DCS. Try using the same frequencies without a tone and see if the activity is still there, then see if you can detect a new tone.

It possible that there is some changes because of PANCOM-it is a big system in area,it covers ALL the counties in the panhandle.. Might program the freqs listed for PANCOM in Potter/Randell Counties.Im not sure how this systems works in relation to all the counties in the panhandle.Im interested in charting it out just havent been up there lately.

I've heard that the EMS provider may have switched to the PANCOM frequencies, and possibly to a digital mode, but nothing more specific than that. I'm nowhere near the area to confirm or rule that out.

I took the tones out and no dice. I scanned low to high and havent heard AFD but I'll try some PANCOM channels and see what floats up. Thanks for the replies

Odd thing, all three scanners started receiving AFD yesterday both bases even the PSR-600 in my truck.
