The other day their was a SERT Team Full Call out. After setting up on the location they moved to a CENTAX talk group 2? After that I didnt hear them any longer. Where did they go? Thanks for the insight.
Most SWAT/TNT/CERT teams will go to a simplex channel once arrived on scene.
You will NOT hear them unless you:
a) know the frequency they are on (non-trunked freq, and I don't like posting them for obvious reasons)
b) are close enough to hear them via line of site, as simplex means no repeaters are being used...
They do this for a few reasons:
1) operational security, most people do NOT scan the simplex, and even if they do, they have to be close enough to receive it
2) no repeater means less delay between units, and you dont have to wait for an open frequency on the trunked system
Hope that helps,
Will
