That is what I have in my scanner for Jacksonville car to car.
Has anyone come up with any more Sherwood frequencies except that one dispatch channel?

I haven't found anymore. I think the fire department is holding off due to several issues the PD had when they transitioned.
last week I did hear a lot of test pages on the VHF volunteer frequencies but I did not catch anything new in discovery
Question for those in the know....
When I am driving past Cabot, I get the Cabot PD and FD real well. Best I can tell driving and quickly looking at the screen, they are on the Cabot site. Since I cannot receive the Cabot site from my house, and apparently Cabot doesnt associate with Shinall or Little Rock Simulcast, if I wanted to get them here in NLR, I should be able to put together a small 850 MHz yagi and point it that way, to bring in the Cabot site, correct? Or is the site coverage not able to reach this far? Ive heard some of them use directional antennas, or low power.

Testing Pulaski county fire talk grupe one. Tg 44715
PCSO just told a unit to "go to the digital channel" and I believe I heard the end of a dispatch on talk group 44720. Might throw that one in, and see what you call get.
New NLR Electric talkgroup 37805
Sherwood Fire Dept (and Gravel Ridge Unit) 37905

I wonder how well AWIN worked during the disaster. Was it a blessing or curse? I can't monitor the system from here.
I never hear complaints. I could hear the MAC channels being used for Mayflower and Vilonia interop right after the storm. ADEM was taking reports and coordinating efforts and NWS LR was broadcasting on MAC Call, as always, with every warning that was put out. I also was listening to Troop B with ASP handling some stuff in their area and never heard complaints.
I would hear them ask someone to repeat something or something like that, but it seemed that was typically because they had so much background noise on their end (sirens, rain, wind, etc.) that they just couldn't make out what they said.
Just my take on it...
Everything seemed to run real smooth as I heard it. Of course a lot of Faulkner Co fire is on VHF, but things seemed to go as smoothly as could be expected.
Every time there has been weather issues, tornadoes, flooding... etc... AWIN has performed flawlessly. I used to love monitoring it as the audio was always crystal clear, where the local VHF's had crackling static from lightning etc.... Every trooper, and other user I talked to regularly loved it, and my contacts there still love it. It has its limitations, as it was never intended for every single radio user in the state to be on it to begin with, but even with those limitations, it works like a charm. As for issues Pulaski County may be having, it seems more like its issues on their end, which they had the same issues transitioning to the original Legacy Analog TRS back in the day.
A lot of it is that the system is so new, the dispatchers and firefighters/police dont really know all the capabilities or how to implement them. I am sure once its been around for a year or so, things will get better.
Ive been hearing a lot of police stalking, er, following suspects around Little Rock, reporting every move they make.. But they are using one of the Nationwide 800 Mhz public safety repeaters. Who maintains repeaters on a nationwide frequency like that?

Sometimes, "the Feds" (DEA, ATF, etc.) will come into town, setup a temporary system for a targeted operation, hand out a bunch or radios, and then everybody plays "Chase the Bad Guy" for a while. I've only seen this a couple of times, but each time, they brought in their own repeaters and radios to give to the locals. They even had some poor radio guys dragging a portable repeater through the woods in the dark to get an operation running. Very odd, but it must work for them. I'm not sure how this is supposed to work today in the world of 800 mHz radios and P25 modulation, but I suspect it might be similar.
The City of Little Rock, State of Arkansas, County of Pulaski have licenses for the 8CALL, and 8TAC frequencies, and are probably using them as "talkaround/tactical" in joint ops. The "Feds" have full use of the AWIN, as well as a system of repeaters, and simplex VHF, and UHF of their own, and are almost fully P25, and extensively encrypted now. With the vehicular repeaters in use now, as long as they are within 2 to 3 miles of a vehicle, they can run HT's, and "flatpack" all day long. They even have full 100 watt portable repeaters that are "invisible" inside vans. (That faded out U Haul you see parking close to an high crime/drug traffic area, may just be an field OP holding a million dollars worth of communications and surveillance gear, along with a couple of fully armed federal agents....)
Ok cool. Was just wondering. The signals are real strong, and they are operating all the time it seems. They are using 852.0125

Pulaski County Sheriff's has a whole lot more channels programmed into their radios than just the Dispatch and Tactical shown in the current database.
The radios have "Prime 1", "Prime 2", "Ops 1" and "Ops 2". Depending on rank and unit of the officer, there are additional channels like Narco, Inmate Transport, etc. I will try my best to identify the talkgroups for those Alpha Tags.
And those are the alpha tags in the PCSO radios for the TGIDs that we already have.
44721 is Labelled "Prime 1"
44722 is Labelled "Prime 2"
44726 is also an active TGID belonging to PCSO. Not sure what it belongs to yet. Could be an OPS channel.

44725 is also an active PCSO TGID. Therefore I'd assume that 44721 through 44726 are probably all belonging to PCSO. I have them all in my scanner and when I'm gone I'm gonna let the scanner exclusively scan those unknown TGIDs and record the audio to figure out what they are.

Certainly, "Dispatch" is more clear to us than "Primary 1", however, "Dispatch 2" is NOT "Tactical 1". That's simply incorrect.
