Hello,
I didn't want to high jack the other thread recently posted about the Washtenaw CO simulcast system but I had a lot of questions that would relate or be parallel topics. My challenge is that my daily commute, the time I do the most monitoring, is a drive from Pittsfield township to Nadeau Rd in Monroe. 3...different...simulcast counties, and I am going bonkers trying to get this to work.
My most direct question, as the title implies, is whether to go with simulcast tower channels, or the flatrock tower, or a combination of? Right now I have 1 trunked system labeled MPSCS with the 3 counties similcast control freqs as well as the flatrock tower control channel (as well as the alternate CC's).
what I get most confused about is "where to find the stuff" versus all of the affiliation's that are possible. For example, if you are a state police patrol unit buzzing through 275 in huron twp, are you going to come up on the flatrock tower or wayne co simulcast? and so depending, which should be in your setup?
It'd be a slam dunk for how to set up a scanner for the house, and recently i did that, and it was awesome listening to just one dang entity! For the ride home I am going to try just having the flatrock tower and washtenaw co CC's and see how we do. Those two "towers" would cover nearly the entire commute. this is all in reference to the PSR 800.
