High Point, NC - Fire Dispatch Change?

[zildjian]

Does anyone know if High Point, NC Fire Dispatch has changed from Analog to Digital? I currently have my scanner configured to monitor the talkgroups listed here.......but I don't ever get any fire traffic. I provide this feed for RadioReference and have received a complaint they don't hear Fire any longer.

Thank you in advance.

Cross Reference what you have with the Database

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

then if they are the same and still non functional start FCC Hunting

Gonna move this to NC forum where you should receive better assistance.

They are still analog like they have been, the only difference I noticed was that TG 528 (Fire A) is the master TG of the multiselect group. The last time I ran trunk88 TG 720 (Fire G) was the master TG. I think they usually use MCTs to respond on. There isn't a whole lot of radio traffic.

So I shouldn't have to change anything on my scanner? I have all talkgroups blocked except dispatch. Do you mean the dispatch talkgroup changed from A to G?

Thank you.

No, when they dispatch a call, Fire A (TG# 528) adds Fire B (TG# 560) & Fire G (TG# 720) which is called a multiselect group, with an older uniden make scanner you must add add 7 to the original TG ID for multiselect. In this case it would be TG ID 535 for Fire A, but with most of the newer scanners & the GREs you don't have to do this. Not sure if this is what's happening or not, but could be the problem. But this only happens during dispatch, when a truck calls back to comm or comm talks to a truck, it's not multiselect, it's on a regular TG, usually Fire B. Best I can remember they used to have Fire G as the master TG, but it's showing Fire A now. If it's an older uniden scanner, try running IDs 528 & 535 & see if that works.
