Recent changes to Wake County?

[pjb3589]

Hi all,
I normally listen to Wake County using the Fuquay-Varina IR site. I turned my scanner on tonight for the first time in a few weeks, but I haven't heard any traffic at all. I monitor some of the same talkgroups as the Wake Fire/EMS feed here, and while the Internet feed had traffic, I received nothing on my scanner.

Have there been any changes to Wake County and/or the Fuquay site specifically in the last few weeks? The database appears to show the same TGIDs that I have configured so not sure why I'm not receiving anything.

Thanks

I can assure the talkgroups are the same because I am listening via multiple radios and scanners right now. I am however near the downtown area of Raleigh so I can't say anything about the Fuquay Site

Have you tried to see if the control channel has changed? I know comm techs have been working on a number of towers in the recent weeks. Like @drayd48 I live near downtown Raleigh and I'm hearing them fine. There is plans to switch to P25, while I've been monitoring I have not heard any P25 traffic, that said, you might try setting up a scan bank with same freqs (including voice) as a P25 system to see if you hear anything (now or in the future).

As a side note, Go Raleigh radios were scheduled to be changed over in September of this year and it did not happen. They have not been given a new date for the change over yet.

Ugh, I think my scanner itself is the problem. I tried monitoring the NWS channels and got nothing there either. Factory reset my scanner and uploaded just the NWS frequencies using FreeSCAN, still nothing.
