I live south of Stillwater and use a BCD325P2. I've programmed a number of P25 systems for Washington, Ramsey, Hennepin, and Dakota counties. I've also programmed DOT, local airports, state patrol, and various cities and suburbs. I've also got a conventional system set up for Hudson WI. They all seem to work fine.
I hear calls from Hudson 90% of the time. Conversely, I hear very few police calls from Woodbury, Stillwater, or the surrounding small towns and cities. I'm wondering if I'm just missing these calls, or if it has something to do with how the counties set up their system. Washington county seems to be divided between north and south. I occasionally hear a call from Forest Lake or Woodbury (car to car), but not nearly the volume you'd expect, given their size.
Does Washington county use a common PSAP to dispatch all police in its cities (I know the Sheriff serves many small towns)? Why don't I ever hear Woodbury dispatch calls? I've checked, and all the ARMER frequencies (primary and alternate controls) listed on RR are programmed in my systems, so I'm sure I'm not missing any. I don't think distance is a problem, as I occasionally hear calls from Cottage Grove. I'm really baffled about why I never hear any activity in Woodbury. Can you help?
