I do not know how to find Wiscomm state patrol frequencies. What are the frequencies? Are they the red control channel ones? What does a control channel even do? What frequencies do I enter? I do not have a scanner I have a kenwood tk5120 k7 p25 vhf radio. If someone could take a second to explain I'd greatly appreciate it 🙂
Anyone know what frequencies the state patrol uses?

In order to scan WISCOM you will need a scanner. There is a lot involved to make certain radios scan a trunking system and it is not something that is simple to program.
On a trunking system the tower sites have a certain amount of frequencies(repeaters) the talkgroups can in theory float across any of those repeaters or sites depending on the configuration of the system and users in the area. You will find all that info here.
You will want to located the tower site closest to you and program that into your scanner.
Here is a long but detailed video detailing how P25 trunking works. There are other ones out there as well. I would try to become familiar with some of these concepts.
If you want to scan WISCOM without going through the programming work there are several good pre-programmed scanners available out there as well.

this is two towers and thus there would be 2 in use, one each.
you could program in the frequencies and lockout the buzz sound (control)
but you will hear everybody and anybody that is one there.
this is what we did before trunking scanners and hitting scan to follow a conversation was a full time thing.
