Forest City PD-talkgroup not showing in the database on my BC436HP

[ScottE22]

Anyone help me see why I'm not finding Forest City PD on the database?Thanks....

They have a VHF frequency in the database:

Rutherford County, North Carolina (NC) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference

Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference for Rutherford County, North Carolina (NC)

www.radioreference.com

They may have transitioned to VIPER now since the county has been moving that way over the last year so be sure and search for any new talkgroups that may not be in the database yet, then you can submit them.

Talk group ID is 41020 per the Broadcastify site for Forest City PD,so that would be VIPER,don't know why I can't locate it when I scroll though the database on the BCD436HP

TG 41020 is not in the RR database, thus it won't show up on the scanner database. The reason it is not in the database is most likely that no one has verified the usage and submitted it to RR. The RR database is built by users from verified information, if no one hears the traffic, verifies who is using it and submits it it won't be added.

How can a user add this talkgroup to see if there is traffic?Would confirmation by an active FCPD officer be useful?I have a BCD436HP, thanks....

You can manually edit your favorites list and add it into your BCD436HP or wait for the weekly database update and download to your scanner next Monday. I did verify the TG was active this past weekend. FCPD is not patched to VHF, they are operating strictly on VIPER. Rutherfordton PD is still on their VHF repeater and all 3 county agencies had mixed use between VHF & VIPER TGs. EMS, Fire, & Sheriff channels were patched. I'll update the database with these findings.

Maybe we'll see there freqs in the database soon

They are using Motorola XPR 7550e radios,DMR, repeater and direct channels,with enhanced voice privacy,UHF 400mhz band,trying to find exact range,my scanner doesn't have the DMR upgrade, so rules out using close call or search to ID freq.Although with the voice privacy, most casual monitoring would not be woth the expense to hack the key...will advise on any updates....
