I have programmed all listed frequencies in the P25 format for Sherman DPS and have not heard a single transmission for days. Have they integrated the new 700 mhz system or changed over to something else?

I was wondering the same thing. I have a Radio Shack Pro 2096 and do believe I have programmed it correctly but am not hearing anything. I once was hearing the freq for the non p25 but no longer hear that either.
I actually heard the same thing that they use the MDT's more than using the radios except for local traffic where they use the local SO frequencies. Thanks.
One other thing to consider that I've noticed is that the digital transmissions don't carry as far as analog. I used to pick up Dallas & Sulphur Springs DPS most of the time on a hand-held in Sherman but not any more since they switched over.
I wouldn't think that would be an issue if you're in Gainesville though.
Thanks Mike, you are absolutely correct on this frequency and the NAC code.
I've heard them several times, not as much as I use too but that's understandable since MDT's are the norm.
I have a total list of the new 700 mhz frequencies and wonder if they will change over to this eventually. It sounds as though they may by 2015 if we're all still around by then.
They simulcast on both the Sherman & Denton sites. I travel to the hill country about this time every year and I can hear them on the Denton repeater well south of Weatherford.
