I have noticed that when TM switches up to Command 1 or Command 2 for responses I usually only hear them on the VHF side and not on EDACS. The normal steps have been take, correct TGID etc. Anyone have any ideas?

I have:
TMFD Command 1 030-62
TMFD Command 2 03-163, And a whole bunch of TAC trunking Talkgroups.
It is very common for TMFD to use VHF for wildland fires. In fact, if a wildland fire occurs you can bet on TMFD going to VHF. I downloaded all the frequencies and Talkgroups from RR.
Are you monitoring the Washoe County Metro system?
No the McClellan site on the EDACS side. I’m a bit too far south for the Reno Simulcast, Slide or Washoe P25. This is for major crashes and reported structure fires. Previously Command 1 and 2 on the trunk side simulcasted to VHF.

I hate to tell you this, but McClellan is a fill-in site with real limited coverage. Not only does it have a small footprint, but it probably won't carry all the traffic on the Metro system or Slide Mtn.
You may need an outside antenna, perhaps a Yagi type, and see if you can receive Slide.
Good luck !
Command 1 is now loud and clear off the Pinenut site
in Carson on WC Slide i get all Truckee Meadows channels just fine. Ill try out McClellan. Never tried the Pinenut site or VHF.

You'll receive Pinenut well in Carson City. The OP, doesn't appear to be in Carson City so he can't receive Slide Mtn.
