Down in Eden prairie today taking wife to an appointment. Brought my R30. I have all the P25 frequencies in Minnesota programmed by county. This was programmed earlier this year. Am hearing allot of school and school busses on these frequencies. Don’t recall seeing any changes lately to the database on RR where I got my information from. Anyone else hearing this?
If there are ARMER frequencies in your list, you will get everything from SWAT to Garbage Trucks (see
https://www.radioreference.com/db/sid/3508 for the known talkgroups, always new/unknown ones showing up regularly also), and if there is a radio subscribed to the same talkgroup on your tower, you will hear everything on that talkgroup, even if it is across the state.
Listening to ARMER without talkgroup filtering is very hard to make heads or tails of. I mean only about a quarter of ARMER towers have Broadcastify Calls node monitoring them, but if you listen to the "firehose" of ARMER on Broadcastify Calls (
Allied Radio Matrix for Emergency Response (ARMER) - All Calls Live ), even at 2x playback speed, the calls come in at a much higher rate than they can be played. Some of the rural towers may be easier to follow with a conventional P25 scanner as the traffic is much less on them, but during an "event", or even morning "rush" it can still be hard to track manually.
