FORT BEND COUNTY TALKGROUPS

[gcmartin]

I'm using Win96 to program my Pro-96 scanner. I have programmed all ID's for Fort Bend Sheriff, Constable, Meadows Police, etc.

What I need to know is this:

I have programmed frequencies for Missouri City tower and Richmond tower, but I'm not receiving any traffic from Meadows PD, FBCC, very little from FBSO. Albeit, I'm located 1/2 mile from the Missouri City tower, but I would suspect that there would be traffic from FBSO and FBCC even in the eastern Sugar Land and Missouri City/Stafford area. I have yet to hear a single transnission from the FBSO and FBCC id's. I also here nothing form Meadows PD as well. Am I missing frequencies? Are they using Starnet Downtown Houston? I do receive Richmond tower traffic from Rosenberg and Richmond as I get closer to Hwy 59 and Sweetwater. Any help would be greatly appreciated.!

Everybody uses the Downtown site. If none of the PD's units or radios are in the affiliation area of the tower than the tower won't repeat that talkgroup. E.X.- A unit drives around and is near the Richmond tower, It the TG won't get repeated on the Missouri City Tower unless another unit is near that tower.

Fort Bend County

I live in Fresno and run downtown and clodine sites. I do not use Missouri City Starnet site. Clodine has all Fort Bend County agencies. Missouri City seperate trunked system Smartnet has Missouri City, Stafford & Sugarland. Just look at Starnet & Missouri City Smartnet. You will find everything you are looking for. I have Pro 94 programed for Startnet & Pro 2050 for MC Smartnet & and others on Starnet.
