Is there an RR Wiki that lists all the Troops in the state, with their frequencies? I would like to check my frequencies.
My scanner can get Wake County's Cary/Wake25 digital system. So I hear a lot from them.Probably. 99% of their traffic along with most state and increasingly more local traffic is on Viper. I never see cars with long whips anymore. Heck, I hardly see NCSHP anymore on the highway anymore.
I have my 325 programmed for Viper sites along major interstates. You don’t need a lot sites, especially further East you get as towers have awesome line of sight.
In wake county, my scanners don’t pick up much public safety analog anymore. I mostly here one sided aircraft reports, locution stuff, chathem co, and rag chews. 35 years ago when I first got into scanning, my 800XLT stayed real busy.
I originally started with a Google search. Finding several reports by the state, dated last year regarding the Troop realignments. The confusion from those pages, prompted me to remember Viper.The map on the wiki should still be accurate for troop and district designations but I doubt the frequencies are. I hear shp on Viper nearly everywhere I travel. I do still catch some low band traffic on occasion in WNC but it is rare.

No more than 20% of the fleet can be unmarked, by statuteFor those who may think they are not seeing SHP on the roads these days, don't be complacent. They are using more unmarked and slick top units these days, even though staffing is short, they are still out
Nope. There is still a17% legislative maximum of unmarked vehicles in the NCSHP fleet per NCGS 20-4 § 20-190 : ".....that not less than eighty-three percent (83%) of the number of motor vehicles operated on the highways of the State by members of the State Highway Patrol shall be painted a uniform color of black and silver....."They are using more unmarked and slick top units these days
I listen to them on the TGs' not analog, and more than one county.Kinda hard to hear any 42MHz NCSHP traffic considering all that equipment was dismantled and sold as surplus (i.e scrap metal) quite a few years ago... RIP KIQ822. Any long whip antennas spotted recently will either be a 5/8 wave VHF or 27MHz CB antenna.
17% to be exact.No more than 20% of the fleet can be unmarked, by statute
