Concur With Post 8
I'm new to the digital trunking systems and not very up to date on all the changes. I live in Baytown, Texas on the Harris and Chambers County line. I am wanting to monitor Baytown police and emergency services, as well as Chambers County Sheriff and emergency services. What will I need to do to the Gre 600 to make it work? Thanks for any and all help as I work and learn about digital scanners.
I don't know what programming software you are using or even if you are using any. I reviewed the various talk groups showing "T" in the mode column. Yes, there are more of these showing up on TxWarn P25; however, for the areas you are wanting to hear, I see no "T" modes. I am seeing "D" in the mode column.
Hence, you radio will work on the ones showing "D."
If you are wanting to monitor HPD, there is a Wiki explaining how to do this with your radio.
I currently used Win500 for my programming choice.
Since TxWarn P25 can vary with respect to reception (I have heard Conroe talking at mile marker 179 on IH45), I would certainly look at the various sites in your area by going to "RR locations" directly below the system frequencies. If you click on this, then zoom into the area of interest. Find the various sites associated with your target area & click on them before Import. Note: the total number of site frequencies cannot exceed 32 for your radio.
Not everyone in TxWarn P25 has migrated to Phase II.
When you use Win500, you don't have to worry about rebanding. I don't know about other programming software. If you need more detailed assistance, you can PM me.
