Monitoring The Maricopa Police Department

[N7LQR]

My name is John and I live in Maricopa, Arizona. I used to be able to monitor the Maricopa Police Department (M.P.D.) on my Home Patrol I scanner, but after a power outage, I have been unable to receive the department. Has some setting on the scanner possibly changed as a result of the power outage precluding me from receiving the department, or coincidently, is the department no longer being dispatched by the Buckeye Police Department and relocated to another system? I am VERY frustrated at not being able to listen to my home police agency and would be most appreciative of any help or assistance someone might provide. Thank you in advance!

I thought Maricopa PD was using the RWC - I was receiving them on Simulcast C not too long ago.

I used to hear Maricopa on the South Mountain site, but since they upgraded the Chandler site, I only hear it there, no longer off South Mountain. If you've been hearing them recently, it's probably something with your radio. If you lost them a few months ago, or more, then it's because they changed sites.

Thanks, Ed. I think you have solved the mystery as to why I no longer hear the M.P.D. as a result of moving FROM the South Mountain site TO the Chandler site. Do you have any suggestions on a remedy to this situation? I hope the P.D. develops their own dispatch center here in the city without using the services of an "outside" agency.
