augusta georgia & south carolina control channels?

[gaunter033]

I spent a few hours today using the rr database to input the control channel freqs into my pro 95 and I only found 4 or 5 that actually matched the database. Anyone else have this problem in my area who might have an updated list? I want to listen to south carolina highway patrol, aiken county south carolina, and richmond county georgia. The sites i should be able to hear are as follows......mcbean, augusta, blythe, north augusta, aiken, plum branch, due west, anderson, batesburg, allendale, barnwell, gaston, salley, orangeburg, greenwood & bamberg. I really dont want to input all the individual freqs into the scanner if I can help it. also, if you are capable of hearing this area, I recently submitted some ten codes, signal codes and such for richmond and columbia counties if you need them. I am currently working on more of the surrounding counties and will submit them as I get them. I also found today searching the fcc's web site that columbia county georgia has just had some new 400mhz frequencies allocated for future use. If you input them in the scanner they all have an "open mic" sound to them. If they do come in use, i will be sure to submit those also. Have a great day everyone.

I dont think you understand how the PAL800 works. There will be one primary tower for each area. There may be one or two other towers that simulcast the primary talkgroups. This is to fill shadows from the primary tower and allows for complete coverage of a given area. From your area you will never hear dispatches from Anderson and some of the other towers you mentioned. Anderson dispatch has no need for its comms to reach Augusta Ga area. You can PGM lots of other towers but you have to travel into that coverage area before you hear anything. Because DIGITAL is in use in several areas you cannot set up a test mode in the 95. In the 96 you can set up a bank with many towers, lock out ALL known ID's, except for maybe one or two and run in "open" mode to find any new users on the system. Post special questions in the Ga or SC forum. Good Luck, Larry

Thanks Larry, I learn more and more each day from everyone here at RR. Its been the best place by far to get good info. I will carry my post over to the georgia and south carolina forums and see what info they may have.
