Columbus trunking Question

[sailor1199]

Hello frist post here, I have a radioshack pro-162.. have programed in all the trunk freq for columbus police and fire I think.

Am getting most of the traffic fine but am not getting the zone 2 I think it is which is were I live off brice road and I70. started to reread the manual again ( fun, fun, ) and am wondering if maybe i do not have the fleet map set right... Will admit not all the way up on the fleet maps..

I get the north side, west side and at least centeral columbus fine,, live within a mile of the sub by penny outlet so recepition is not a problem.

also a current talk group list.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
dave

The system is type II, which means that there is no fleet map involved.

The talkgroup list is in the database (Franklin County Public Safety Trunking System, Columbus, Ohio - Scanner Frequencies).

To hear CPD zone 2 just program talkgroup 1360.

Your reception of the system is based on how close you are to any of the six tower sites. It is a simulcast system, which means that all repeaters at all of the tower sites repeat all of the system traffic. So, you will hear everything on the system the same.
