TxWARN and Montgomery County

[m3bella]

I'll start by saying I know almost nothing about scanning. I have an SDS100 I had programmed, to include Montgomery County.

Looking at the database, TxWARN > Montgomery County Sheriff and Montgomery County Constable - both have unencrypted TGs. Is there a reason why my SDS100 never receives anything from those 2 departments? Well, let me rephrase and say the other day I heard 1 short call from one of those LE departments (can't remember which one). Other than that 1, it's always just FD/EMS calls on TxWARN.

I've also tried listening to MOCO LE on those "free" apps and it's complete silence.

Montgomery County who has some unencrypted TGs very rarely use them for LEO purposes. The constable dispatch TGs are listed as unencrypted but actually use the Supervisor channels that are encrypted. I only hear them on the interoperability, emergency management, district attorney, the various precincts. but even then it is rare.

Even the free apps can't decrypt the transmissions.

On my feed I don't even include Montgomery County because I find the automated dispatch voice extremely annoying!

@Enforcer52 - thank you for clarifying. As a new user it's always difficult to understand if I'm doing something wrong or if it's something else. And yeah, that computer dispatch is definitely annoying!

Thanks for your help! I just scan Harris and MOCO. I'm starting to learn (slowly) it really helps to have favorite lists for different agencies. That precinct 4 up north is a beast from east-to-west!

The North end of Harris County stays really busy.

Favorite lists with quick keys setup is great once you learn how to setup and use.
