The MSP-S radio traffic that I heard was pretty heavy Monday morning, but the afternoon was nearly dead. I see this often, and sporadically, which is why I was wondering if I'm doing something wrong on my end. I am near the Rt 50/301 split, around Wye Island. I am less than 10 miles from Talbot and St. Michaels, the way the crow files.
I am a newbie to Phase 2 scanning. Perhaps I have set this up incorrectly, since I had seen earlier posts that mentioned hearing QA Co sheriff on Greenbury Pt or AA county sites, for example. So, I made sure I have the sites that are local to this area included. Specifically Queen Anne, Greenbury Pt, Talbot, and Matapeake. For some reason, I thought a transmission near Rt 404/50, for example, might be triggered on the Talbot site; similarly with radio traffic occurring near the Bay Bridge being triggered on Matapeake and Greenbury Pt, being the ones in that proximity.
If I correctly interpret some of the comments above, I should only have that Queen Anne site scanned for QA Co sheriff and MSP-Centreville? If so, that leaves me wondering what the close sites, such as Matapeake and Greenbury Pt (about 4 miles west of that) are for. They shouldn't be scanned as "back-ups" to ensure no radio traffic is missed?
I appreciate the guidance.
