I'll be headed down to Myrtle Beach next week and have been working in Sentinel to build a favorites list for the trip. We're staying near the Apache Pier area, so going through the database I believe I have most of the high points covered but have a few questions for those in the area.
Palmetto 800:
I've included the Talkgroups for SCHP in Horry county as well as the medical helicopters
Horry County TRS
Myrtle Beach PD: I've got the main dispatch, waterfront and beach patrol channels open as well as the special ops/events. The rest are set to avoid. Are there any major ones I'm missing that might be worth hearing?
Myrtle Beach FD: I've got Fire Dispatch as well as Fire Station 5 Alert as it will be the closest one to where I am staying. Is that redundant? How often are the Fire TAC channels utilized? I have them enabled right now.
Horry County PD:
I've got all the "South" channels enabled with the rest on Avoid since that will be the area we're in.
Horry County Fire/Rescue:
This is the one I really need help with. I see all the TAC channels, and the EMS channels but there is no dispatch TG listed. Am I missing something?
Lack's Beach Service:
We'll be on the northern end "N Chairs" so I enabled that channel as well as the Admin channel. This will be the first real opportunity to try out the DMR with my SDS200.
Anyone have any other recommendations for good traffic? Also, are any of the conventional frequencies worth programming?
I tried just using the full database last year but there was way too much traffic for that. I'd rather fine tune it down this way as opposed to hearing everything since there is so much traffic in the area.
