I only have the Hardee site programmed in one zone of my radio. So definitely it’s coming from the Hardee site. I have no other control channels programmed in that zone.
Polk, Hardee, Highlands and DeSoto County P25 (396.BEE00)

I regularly pick up Pinellas from Zephyrhills. It may be that I’m using a commercial radio.
that's possible, ..... Also Pinellas has an advantage the signals bounce off of the bay
just my opinion

I guess also depending on the strength of the CC’s also. One thing I find strange is Hardee County sounds better than Polk sound quality wise.that's possible, ..... Also Pinellas has an advantage the signals bounce off of the bay

Picking up Desoto and Hardee from their control channels today loud and clear. Must be a band opening.

all LEO's in Highlands, Hardee, & Desoto are ENC.
I've heard Desoto Sheriff's Dispatcher on 2 or 3 different days in the clear BUT not the other half of the conversation

Does Winter Haven have their own fire dispatch? I see the entry in the RR data base but I hear them dispatched over Polk County fire dispatch.
I don’t know if all different cities like bartow Haines city winter haven fd is in their own tg or on Polk county fd disp. I’ll find out on Tues when I’m off and see if bartow will be on their own city or county fd disp.
All fire stations in Polk EXCEPT Lakeland, Bartow, & Lake Alfred are on the Polk county comm center Fire Dispatch.
Lakeland City Dispatches on Alpha Channel.
Medicals & Auto Accidents are usually on Brovo, & Major Incidents like fires are on Charlie Channel. Delta Channel is an alternate to Charlie Channel.
Bartow Dispatches on the main fire channel.
Lake Alfred City Fire uses the Lake Alfred City Police Dispatch Channel.
sometimes you can hear Administration-type communication AND on-duty Training exercises on the individual city fire channels.
Yesterday I heard a medevac don't remember which one BUT they were on either Disaster 15 or Tac 15 don't remember now, BUT I switched to the 700 System & found NO talk groups were active.
Whichever channel the helicopter was using should have been active on the 700 system (396h-030) Bartow
The Helicopter said they were on LZ1
I can confirm Polk LZ 1 is being patched to either Disaster 15 OR Tac 15 by the comm C. every time in the last 2 wks that I've had my scanner on when they call for a medevac it's shown up on my scanner as either Tac 15 or Disaster 15 at random but the ground units & helicopter has been calling it Polk LZ 1
a couple of times I've switched to the Polk 700 system while the helicopter was talking and my scanner showed up as Tac 15
I assume the comm c is doing a patch just like Tac 4 & 6 / Tac 5 & 7
Last night I was asleep and woke up with a big boom and looked outside what was going on something caught fire and turn on the radio see what was fire didn't hear much. I did hear Bartow PD pull with sirens and than the FD showed up. Bartow PD & FD are on Polk County Site 1 not on the site 3. 20 mint later after the boom the BFD came back said it was semi trailer caught fire.

I had a Tech tell me not 100% of the radios have been Programmed with the new channels so for the time being LZ1 & 2 are being patched
Eventually, they'll be separated
Eventually, they'll be separated
Been here for a month haven't heard LZ. Sometime last week I did hear them on TG 5156 for a few seconds that was it. I got my sds200 set for new tg and I found a few. How long has this system been online? I don't know of Polk County School Bus is using TG 5093 I did hear Transportation one time. I don't know of this is another school bus company or a field trip channel for polk cnty schools?
TG 5156 is Areomed Dispatch on Polk Tower
TG 5093 is Polk County Public School Bus, I just haven't figured out the alpha Tag to this channel
TG 5093 is Polk County Public School Bus, I just haven't figured out the alpha Tag to this channel
