Yep, I'm back in Atlanta again. I spent the day hanging out in Clayton County with my HP-1, 996XT and 396XT. I found a park close to the main SO office to listen to traffic. Today I discovered that Police and Sheriff appear to be dispatched from the same dispatch center. It also appears that SO and PD radios are configured the same because they were using channel numbers a lot. Here is what I have so far backed by hours of audio recording.
Clayton County Law-enforcement
155.05500 **107.2 PL Sheriff Dispatch Main Ch.1 (Dispatch)
158.89500 **107.2 PL Sheriff or Police Ch.2
151.32500 **203.5 PL Police North District 1 Ch.4 (Dispatch)
150.99500 **107.2 PL Police South District 2 Ch.6 (Dispatch)
Sheriff units stayed mainly on ch.1 and were ID as SO XXX (Unit Number). There was also non SO unit number used on Ch.1.
There was a bunch of activity today were units were responding all over the place and switching to different channels. Also found out they use the input channel as talk-around (simplex). One last note. Ch.1 one which is used by primarily by SO is quite at night but busy during the day.
Just wanted to report my findings.
