SaiaNet/DMR Questions in WNY

[lkas]

Ok I have a hopefully simple question, I live Near UB North Campus (cooke hall tower) and I want to only monitor UBPD, would it be safe to assume I can get away with only programming the cooke hall site into my scanner and get away with hearing 99% of the communication. I currently monitor 3-4 sites and feel like that is not needed?

in a nut shell YES.. they are constantly on that site and Site 1 Seneca tower

I'd say so. It's the most likely tower some units would affiliate with regularly. Like you said 99% of the communications, you realize that you might miss something on some blue moon day, which is key! The only way to almost guarantee hearing everything is to have a radio that belongs to that system.
