Hey Guys, Hope I posted this in the proper area. If not my deepest apologies. My local System is a Motorola Type II system. I'm jsut getting into scanning and had a few questions. I'm looking on some sites for freq and TGID info and am somewhat Confused... Here goes with the questions...
1. The local police dept info im seeing is TGIDs, along with a frequency and a input frequency along with tone information. I know what a TGID is but im not sure if im better off to use the talkgroup or the frequencey and why is an input freq provide and what about the tone ?
Hopefully someone can clairfy that for me...
2. My local fire depts dont utilize the method of TGID, instead I see a frequency, a input frequency ( somtimes listed as simplex) aswell as tones. I was wondering the same as above... for programing purposes do I jsut use the freq ? and whats the signifigance of tones...
3. Also just as a side question...I know there are alot of contributing factors to how far away I will hear something on my scanner, but can anyone give me a round about idea how far I might hear...
Thanks alot guys for any help...
