I called the police for a shots fired in my neighborhood this morning. I didn't hear the call go out on my scanner, but 6 PD units showed up to search the neighborhood.
I didn't hear any talk between the units and I know they had to be talking to each other because they all covered severak blocks around me.
I have a Uniden 396T and I have all the "System Frequencies" entered in my radio and I have all the "Talk Groups" entered as well. After a few minutes I switch over to search mode from scan mode. Still no talk. The system I'm monitoring is the ROUND ROCK PD part of the Williamson County portion in this large system. The link is: http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=2
I'm wondering if they were using the "simplex or imput" freqs of this system. I'm very confused about this incident. They had to be communicating some how, but I couldn't hear a thing. Not even in search mode on this system.
Please advise or comment.
Thanks
