Migration
I am still not getting anything to show up. I spent numerous hours on this. Can someone please help me out. Call me or text me go guide me thru this? I would appreciate it. Thanks.

As I previously stated, Sioux City is currently in the process of migrating to the aforementioned radio system. Previously, listeners were indeed able to listen to radio traffic because someone originally monitored, analyzed and submitted the information needed to operate your radio. However, now, listeners must repeat this process for others to follow the system. This can be a complicated process depending on the radio system.
So, in the near future, I fully expect some of these talk groups to be showing up for Sioux City and Woodbury county. Hopefully, this will happen soon provided that someone is indeed analyzing the system.
I would urge you to load the Woodbury set of frequencies and set your radio to ID search. Then, you can monitor the system to determine: agencies involved; type of service (EMS, Fire, Law Enforcement); and what type of channels (Fire tactical, fire talk, etc.).
In other words, you will have to be patient because of the unknowns present. In time, you can download the various channels/talk groups that are identified on this new system.
I don't know if you know other scanner enthusiasts in your area, but I would check with the to determine if anyone has heard the various first responders in your area.
Here in Texas, I have analyzed two systems: Woodway, Texas and Bell County. I used Pro96 software to analyze the Woodway VHF P25 trunking system.
For Temple, I only used ID search. Hence, I was able to identify and document the Temple PD ProVoice dispatch channel and surveillance channels using the ID search. In order to do this, you will be locking out unwanted talk groups like sanitation, code enforcement, etc.
If you decide to take this route, using ID search, you can write down and add these talk groups to the radio, particularly when they are consistent with first responders. At present, these talk groups are unknown. I would follow the Iowa threads in case someone finds a talk group for your listening area.
What I don't understand is why the old system was removed from the RR DB. Most of the time, these systems are left in place. Typically, there will be notes indicating that the system is no longer being used.
Here in McLennan County, Texas, Waco shows two separate trunking systems, the new and old.
When conventional frequencies are no longer used, they will usually put "deprecated" in the RR DB.
Please, read the operating manuals on ID search. We rely on the RR DB for radio programming.
I just looked and found that the HP2 requires an "extreme upgrade" in order to operate ID search. I don't know if you have this added to your radio. See post two in this thread:
