Columbus / Muscogee County radiosystem still using P25 Phase 1

[DC]

After monitoring the Columbus / Muscogee County Phase 2 radio system on my trusty PRO106, which by the way only decodes P25 Phase 1, it seems that you don't need a Phase 2 scanner, as all of the radio traffic for now is still on Phase 1. I monitored Police, Fire, EMS, Sheriff, Public Works all with no problems. So for now, if you cant afford a Phase 2 scanner just re-program your radio and happy scanning.

Is the current data here in the database still correct/up to date to reprogram a scanner?

Regarding P1/P2, I have been watching channel allocations on UT and have noticed that although the system is configured for P2, I see very few P2 voice channel allocations, most of them are still in the P1 bandplan.

Thanks...I went ahead and ordered the 325P2, I am only getting a few calls and none from my local Harris county sheriff who shares the system with muscogee county, last year I used to get the local

Aren't Harris County public safety agencies now using the Diverse Power TETRA system?

That system is no longer in use, it was replaced by a P25 P2 system.
As far as I know, that system is for Muscogee County only, it is not shared with any other agencies as it was in the past.

I guess the 325P2 will fix that, for Harris county I will just go break a window or rob a store when I want to hear their traffic

That's the way it is. If you check the tower locations, you find that the Muscogee System no longer has an antenna on the water tower at Roosevelt State Park.

I got the 325P2 in and set up, still am not getting what I think I should, used proscan loaded three systems in my area, muscogee county..even tried one system at a time..I have it connected to a ST2 on top of the house I am on the high ground from here to towers about 13 miles away, I know the st2 is omni directional but wondering since it does have a front to it, if it might should be so the front is facing the towers..the bar graph on radio shows very few bars if any most the time...any ideas ?...I have gotten some decent traffic but rarely.

I found the service search lock outs in proscan were all set to on, so I tried no lock outs and got tons of traffic various sources,, so I went and set all off except public safety and ham..picks up some...not much, will try closer in town later.
