Does anybody know which tower I should be using for the Southwest Phoenix area. I work over in the area of 51st & W. Baseline. Right now I'm using Simulcast A and I can receive the PD somewhat, but it does cut in and out an awful lot (giving me the ole chainsaw noise). Thanks in advance.
For the PSR-500 & PSR-600
Create a separate system for Phoenix Police, Fire, Tempe, Buckeye & Peoria. Buckeye & Peoria can be in 1 system since their talkgroups are heard on the same towers until Buckeye builds their system.
Try programming Phoenix Police using the control channels of System A, C, G, & White Tanks
Phoenix Fire using B, C, G & White Tanks
Buckeye & Peoria using G & White Tanks
Tempe Police using System F. If you want add System A & C. Tempe will most likely only be on System F since their system has good coverage.
When Chandler Police starts using System C program C. Add A & F if you want.
In each of the systems you can add IR's. New River, South Mountain & Estrella if you want.
**TOPAZ - Mesa is no longer part of RWC - so program talkgourps for AJ, Gilbert & Mesa Police & Fire using Thompson Peak & System D "Only"** TOPAZ "Mesa" will add more sites in the near future on the west side of town. Add those for Mesa when they are built.
RWC talkgroups will no longer be heard on a TOPAZ site. TOPAZ talkgroups will no longer be heard on a RWC site. Not sure how light rail talkgroups will work on Monday.
PSAP will split. Talkgroup 2872 might stay only on the Mesa System & 2852 for RWC?
Set the scanner;s multi site mode to stationary with check each CC on every pass unchecked. Programming this way will give you the best coverage for most of the valley. Trick is separate each of the above agencies by programming the systems listed. You can add whatever agencies from each system into any scan list.
