So has anyone figured what needs to be down to settings to listen to Livingston county?
Livingston County was never that busy when I lived in the area (a little more than 16 years ago). Maybe the lack of reception is due to lack of activity?
Could you elaborate? Capabilities and limitations to the patched talkgroups?
I'm not entirely sure I understand the question, but I'll try to answer what I think you are asking.
TG 95 on the system is linked to the 151.055 repeater.
TG 95 is the Fire & EMS Dispatch talk group
151.055 is what is programmed into pagers (Minitor VI units)
(151.055 was previously the county-wide highway repeater fwiw)
This is a full duplex patch so users can talk on either the analog or digital side with users on the other.
The other channels I mentioned are not patched or repeated. They are programmed into our APX 4000 radios as analog conventional channels. They are fire ground channels. They are intended to be used for short distance but mission critical communications, such as interior operations.
All of this has been added to the database.

Also, you use simplex analog for fireground communications at a tactical level?
That answered my question. I wasn't sure how your patches were set-up.
So, 151.055 is a fixed bidirectional patch with TG95?
No other fixed TG>Conventional patches?

- The 151.055 is a static patch to TG95, with no other intention to patch a different or simultaneous talkgroup to it for fireground updates to voice pagers?
- Is the simplex tactical frequency(s) used as the primary communications for fireground operations or on a case-by-case basis? (On vs off network fireground operational question)
Chris what kind of external antenna you using. Are you scanning other systems or anything else from full data base? I have found with my 436 I can't always get livingston if I scan from my favorite list with 1 other system. After I analyze livingston system and hold on it it works great.
