Steve....I haven't listend to the FWRRS for quite sometime cuz of the encryption...any changes from what is in the DB? I now spend a lot of weekends between FW and Weatherford and could probably hear the west side traffic.
THANKS
Cleve,
No significant changes. There quite a few more active talkgroups for Arlington & GP than what is shown, but as the PD ones are encrypted, it would be hard to pin down usage.My reception at home is somewhat borderline, as Grand Prairie and Arlington have their system tweaked to concentrate coverage within their jurisdictional areas. Also, their sites are 'below my horizon' due to the White Rock Escarpment (the big hill you encounter on I-20, going east from Grand Prairie is one example, as is the drop-off going west on I-30 or Jefferson/Davis from Oak Cliff, where I am).
I can copy FWRRS once I get farther west, or north to the Stemmons/Inwood Rd. area. I have the NETCO layer set as a separate system, and the same for Irving, just for clarity when scanning.
I spend the occasional weekend farther west, in the Stephens County/Breckenridge area, and the Parker County P25 system comes in loud & clear there.
