Thanks.... these freqs are the same as I was using for the Sarasota site. I did a 24 hour ID search on the Sarasota, Venice and Myakka City Sites and was able to get a handful of hits from 5 different IDs off of the Venice site: 801, 802, 903, 1001 and 1211. I guess I am surprised of how little traffic there is on this system. That which I did receive was crystal clear, however.
how can these be programmed into an SDS100? i tried making a favorites list but that didn't work. i'm use to a basic scanner that you could just enter these as conventional freq's into a bank without any talk groups or trunking type.
You should be using Uniden's Sentinel software to do this. Open Sentinel and click on the USA database ---> Click Florida ---> Click on Statewide ---> Right Click on Florida Power & Light (P25) and select "Append to Favorites List". This will add the system to your list of Favorites. Make sure to SAVE the revised Profile when done.
Well... This approach was intended to be a simple solution to a problem for someone who did not know how to create a favorites list for FPL. Once that is accomplished, he can trim it down anyway he wants. I personally have TWO favorite lists for FPL... one is for the statewide system and the other is only my local towers. To each his own. His programming life would be infinitely simpler with a Premium membership combined with Butel software for the SDS series.
They operate in the clear but you must be using a Phase II capable scanner. After monitoring them for the past couple months , there is not as much chatter as you would imagine in comparison to public safety radio.
That will do it. I just put in ALL talkgroups and see what comes off of those 3 towers. Occasional they make reference to an address or landmark that lets you figure out if they are really local or not. As I have said before, I did an ID search for all 3 towers over a 24 hour period and was surprised at how little they key up. The busiest TGs for this area seem to be:
