RR DB in Pampa
I'm visiting in Pampa and with my 436HP loaded with the RR data and outdoor antenna, I hear nothing. I've already discovered the Gray County SO and Pampa PD PL's were incorrect and submitted them for change. I also don't hear the DPS on any of their channels. Has the DPS changed freqs or NAC's?
I grew up in Pampa. It has been several years and several scanners back when I last visited. I cannot recall whether I heard them or not when I visited. I was there for a funeral.
This is the down side of the 436HP, relying on the RR DB for scanning. When I had my PSR 500 as my main squeeze, I could load things & alter the working memory. However, if I visit a new area with a new radio system, I might be at the mercy of the RR DB, something that really annoys me.
There are some sections of the country where the RR DB is accurate due to an involved listener community. Then there are other area of the U.S. that are hardly ever updated.
With all of the methamphetamine in that area of Texas, I would expect more radio traffic and/or encryption. Then again, the traffic might be underground since there was a District Attorney knee deep in the methamphetamine hobby. I think he was using when he was caught.
Thank you for updating the DB. Please, post any other things you find up there with that fine radio. I love my 436HP.
