Athens City

[radiocrazy123]

APD Main, has gone silent on NXDN VHF, nothing heard on TACN
AFD Main, I am only hearing dispatches on NXDN VHF

According to the City Council Minutes the city approved the 800 MHz radio upgrade for Police, Fire, and Public Works. This occurred in January and February. City of Athens Council Minutes are hardly ever detailed compared to some places. The only two conventional frequencies that I could find is 856.9875 MHZ (McMinn County) and 855.4875 MHZ (Athens Utilities). The 855.4875 Probably Backup to DMR Trunked System. Maybe they are on TACN and may be encrypted? If I remember right they were even encrypted in 2006 when they went P25 VHF. Not sure if you looked out for that.

Athens PD is on TACN on TG 6008 and in the clear. Received them off Starr Mtn.

Haven't heard them all day on TACN or NXDN. drove thru Athens all the way to the East side. I am hearing everyone else, but Athens.
Anyone else have info?

I am still hearing Athens PD on 6008 TACN on Starr MTN and Oswald Dome. The TG was already in the database prior to their switch.

I am on that Talkgroup, on Starr Mnt. Hear nothing.
Rx Etowah PD just fine, clear across the county, on Starr Mnt. just fine. Yet nothing for Athens. That's why I asked for others that are actively listening to chime in.

Well I was just chiming in to tell you I have been actively hearing Athens PD on 6008 all day as well as the other users in the county. I hope you figure it out. I am using a Unication G5 and have been switching between Starr and Oswald Dome.

Portables are using Smart connect in city.
mobiles pinging on Oswald. Don't seem like they were given N Bradley access, hopefully that gets added.
makes sense now why I'm not hearing anything. Oswald is too far for me on portable.
