NCSHP CCs

After reading this: Not hearing NCSHP Troop C Area 3

I started to wonder, If I could actually hear all the Districts in a Troop. Even if some counties were not near me? In the OP's Troop listing. I have Troop D District 7. Because Durham is a neighboring county.

I think the way it usually works is it depends on whether a radio is associated with your tower or a neighboring tower. If nobody on the talk group you want to hear is associated with your tower or an immediately neighboring tower, you won't generally hear it (unless it's a statewide group or something that is designed to always be carried). Someone else may be able to tell you better or more detailed info but that's my understanding of how it works.

Plus another thing to consider is that Highway Patrol simulcasts their transmissions over multiple talkgroups. For example, I am in A3 but I hear calls in A2, A4 quite often. Not the cars in the other district but the dispatcher in Raleigh. They have them patched I am assuming because of the way the particular dispatcher cover multiple areas at the same time. It gives them more control otherwise they would be getting cars calling them at the same time.
