Thanks milf! I actually did a little legwork before posting this up, and I'm tracking 100% on everything you've hit on. I guess to clarify my original question, does the DNR and Forestry Service use specific repeaters on the Palmetto 800 and if so, which ones?
I haven't heard them on VHF in a few years, and those few times I did it was very vague traffic.
Specifically, I guess I would like to monitor the traffic out of the Francis Marion National Forest. I've already programed in the repeaters that cover the entire Region 4 area into the Home Patrol just to see what's out there, and delegate from there.
My only problem with dumping every single Palmetto 800 repeater in the counties Region 4 covers, is simply that. I like to keep the banks or departments / site / systems programmed into the radios efficient, and only listening to what they need to listen to.
