Hello radio gods!
I have a rather simple question. I am scanning a Trunked System with multiple sites and numerous talk groups to stay tuned into my fire dispatch as I am a volunteer. When I am at work there is a site that is located 1/2 mile from my office but whenever I try to use that site and HOLD on our dispatch channel I get a "Finding Control Channel..." message. Of course that means I do not have the right control channel for that talkgroup to read on the site. Now my question is this...
Do all sites in a trunked system broadcast all the talkgroups? Or can only some talkgroups get broadcasted over the site?
Our department runs ambulances on Tybee Island where I work, so I feel like I should be able to connect to the site for the fire dispatch and medic channels but I seem to have have bad control channels...
Any help you can provide to help me get connected would be greatly appreciated!
