Is anyone else having problems with hearing Missouri City FD, SLFD and Stafford FD?? Started having a problem last week...Can anyone tell me if the freq's changed or anything?? Thanks

Steven, welcome to the Texas Forum
I presume you are referring to the analog TxWARN system, right? This one:
Texas Wide Area Radio Network (TxWARN) Motorola Trunking System, Metro Houston area, Texas - Scanner Frequencies
The Missouri City site has been rebanded so, yes, the frequencies have changed. While the Richmond site does not show as updated yet, I suspect it either has been (and just not submitted to the database yet), or will be updated very shortly.
To monitor the system after rebanding, you will need a rebanding-capable scanner. Besides entering the new frequencies, you will also need to enter the correct tables, and set the scanner to use them. That procedure is not hard, but will vary depending on the model of scanner you have. Some of the older scanners, such as the Pro-97 and Pro-95 cannot be set for rebanded systems and will no longer work.
More on rebanding can be found
here. Scroll down on that page for additional resources as to whether your scanner will work, and if it will, what needs to be done to make that happen.
