I've been in Savannah for a few days and brought my 436HP with me. My understanding is that most of Savannah PD is encrypted, but haven't received much of anything even on Fire and EMS TGs. Since I hope to be back next year, I have some questions that hopefully will help me do a better job programming.
I have a 436HP with DMR and NXDN upgrades.
In no particular order here are my questions.
I only have the Chatham County simulcast site programmed in. I'm staying on Abercorn Street, north of downtown. Sort of near Hunter AAF, but not right at it. I noticed that there appear to be more than one site being received by the scanner. My guess is that I'm receiving the downtown and the Pooler sites.
I've never experienced simulcast distortion before, so my question is if that could cause a loss of reception of TGs?
I read that Chatham County and the city have separated or are in the process of separating into two different police departments. Is dispatch still done at the same dispatch center on the same TGs?
Which EMS agencies does Chatham County dispatch for? For that matter, who provides EMS for the city? Is Coastal EMS still on Southernlinc?
Oh, in case anyone cares, Old Savannah Tours uses SouthernLinc.
