Are Upshur and Henderson counties on TxWARN? No talkgroups are listed. Are they patched? Did anybody catch any comms?

Good article, though a bit short.

Upshur and Henderson both have sites (237 and 243, respectively), but as far as I know no talkgroups.

Upshur County is still using analog VHF Hi Band for communication for the S/O, County Fire, and Gilmer PD. I have never heard them on the TxWARN sites with any communications. Was not in town to listen to the event though. Only users I know of for TxWARN in Upshur County is ETMC EMS which provides EMS service to all of the county.
