Scott County MS

[joemiliovlpe]

I'm using a Uniden BC125AT handheld scanner to monitor Scott County police and fire. The problem is; the only freqs I can hear are the two Scott Co. Sheriff freqs with PL tones. The scanner was programmed by Scanner Master. Why am I not able to hear Forest and Morton? Please help. Thank-you

i can only hear the Scott county sheriff. i think that the sheriff dispatches for the whole county as well as all the vfds

Scott is centrally dispatched by the SO/EOC. MPD etc do have option for an private/tactical chan. but from my info rarely use it. Most of the smaller counties like Franklin do the same thing. Its simpler, and cheaper. Back in the day, everyone had their own system. Only poorer smaller county that went the opposite direction I know of is Jefferson, as they let Fayette set up their own VHF radio. But now, I think they went back to central dispatch at least on MSWIN.

i always found it surprising that they were all dispatched by the so. because cities such as quitman,in Clarke county... and newton in newton county all have their own dispatch.and Forrest seems to be a much larger city.

Actually Quitman is dispatched from Clarke County Dispatch.....

 

[frazmandemo]

this is true. but they have their own frequency in which they are dispatched.

Believe me.... I'm quite aware they have their own TG on the MSWIN and ComSouth TRBO system.

well that is all i meant. Forrest has a channel,but it is never used. newton,quitman use theirs. that is all i meant.
