Confused re: Durham City PD

[tc4racer]

I am trying to program a Home Patrol (yeah yeah, go easy on me) for my daughter to take to Durham NC where she is moving. I read about the Fayettevile/Durham joint agreement and I did see the freqs and TGs listed in the RR database for the Durham PD Districts I want to monitor.

The challenge is that I can't find any of this in the database tree within HomePatrol Sentinel. I expanded VIPER and the County stuff and just can't find it! Anyone able to help a bit?

I just am looking to setup a basic favorite list for her to hear the PD and FD closest to her.

Thanks

Durham Police & Fire operate here, not VIPER

Durham-Fayetteville (really the Durham system since Fayetteville is just contracting for now to provide control/backend services until they can build out their own data center) has both Durham PD/Durham County PD, as well as Durham City fire and Durham County Fire listed, among other things.

Also, the Durham P25 system is NOT the same system as the VIPER system. VIPER is statewide, and certainly has towers in Durham (as well as all over the state), but Durham operates their own system.

Also, for anyone interested, just in case someone is curious, the Fayetteville traffic is not carried (well, unless a Fayetteville radio associates with a Durham tower) on the Durham side of the system, or vice-versa. The Durham and Fayetteville subsystems are completely separate except for sharing a data center on the back end. You can't sit in Durham and monitor Fayetteville normally, nor sit in Fayetteville and monitor Durham.

Like Cary/Wake25?

Yes similar, although Cary/Wake P25 does actually sometimes have the same traffic carried on both sides. Not most of the time by any means (and I'm CERTAIN someone on here will jump all over me for saying that, but it is true). What I mean is, for example, I can hear a Locution fire page on the 591 NAC, sometimes, then when it gets done a few seconds later that same page will sometimes come over the 592 NAC and when my scanner moves on I'll hear it. Now technically it's not actually the same traffic because it's a separate system, delayed (so probably dispatched over a separate channel, etc.) but regardless it's the same message being sent over both sides of the system, sometimes.

This will ordinarily never, ever happen between Durham and Fayetteville. I can't think of many situations (not any come to mind really in normal circumstances) where the same traffic would ever be carried over both sides. Durham and Fayetteville are about 90 minutes away from each other, they're not even close. And I understand Fayetteville (well at least the radio techs) would like to build out their own system and move off of Durham P25 eventually. So there's nothing Durham is doing there really except running the back end data center for them.
