Heber-Overgaard Scanning

[CTWaters]

Good evening, all...

I just bought a house in Overgaard, and have my scanner programmed, but am not picking up much of anything when I hear sirens.

Let me rephrase... I hear things on the scanner throughout the day. the National Forest, and calls here and there, along with the occasional H/O FD dispatch.

Here's what I have. Anyone that knows something different, or anything I am missing, please let me know.

Also, with NCSO, whenever the scanner locks on one of their channels, it just sounds like white noise during the dispatch call. Anyone else ever encounter this? Or is there something WeIrD with Navajo County Sherriff?

I am in Snowflake and pick up NCSO with no problems. They are on the Porter Mountin for Overgaard area. You should also be able to get Holbrook dispatch as well. The 155.700 is a P25 digital mode. I am not sure what area that covers. I hear calls in Overgaard all the way up to Winslow and I40. You might want to add the DPS for I40 and south. The frequency is in the data base. The good thing about this area is mostly everything is analog. The only other digital I know of is Holbrook EMS is DMR. Welcome to the area

Much appreciated, @AJAT...

155.7 would make sense. That one is where the scanner stops at quite often and it's just all white noise. I don't honestly really hear any other NCSO freq's stop at all. I live right near the 260 & 277 split, so NCSO and DPS are *always* in this area running Radar and I see them rolling, I just need to fine to the freq's - LOL.

It just sucks because like down in The Valley when you are trying to find a frequency, it only takes about 20 seconds and you can hear if the dispatch is in the area or not. Up here, it's like waiting days only to find out the dispatch is four cities away - LOL.

The 155.7 Digital just recently started becoming more and more active. I heard them today with a traffic stop at the 260/277 split. You should be able to pick up the Porter Mountin and Holbrook analog by you. They are fairly busy for a rural county. I am still trying to figure out where the P25 154.7 dispatch area is as I said they seem to be all over the county, so I am not sure what it is used for, although I know it is a dispatch channel. If I am able to figure it out I will submit it to the data base. 460.3 PL 100.0 is the DPS for your area. It is good to have someone else nearby on this forums not a lot of threads for Navajo county, and I know the data base can use a little updating although it is fairly accurate. If you find some new freq’s be sure to post em and update the data base.

I wasn't aware there was any P25 digital up here for this area. Last time I looked at RR, I must have missed a bunch of stuff. I will search again for anything "Navajo", "Overgaard", or "Heber".

I definitely will submit anything I find. My house is right near the 260 / 277 split, so there's always stuff running East-West up and down 277, North-South up and down 260.

I brought my SDS200 up here to leave which has all the different system types enabled. I was using my Unication G5 which picks up 1,000 times better than the Uniden's, but I don't have 4xxMhz capability on it, since 99% of the valley is all either VHF or Simulcast.
