Typically no. The exception is if someone from the western part of the state is affiliated on a Raleigh tower then you will hear that talkgroup until they are out of range or turn off their radio.

I monitor 3 VIPER sites here in Charlotte. I hear broadcasts on Talkgroups from all over the state occasionally , as I guess mobile units travel to the Charlotte area for a lot of reasons, and affiliate with local sites while in the area.

I hear a lot of Wake County SHP and the occasional SW event channel that someone affiliated over

Can I listen to the western part of state from Raleigh on Viper?
Sure you can! Just make sure you have an affiliated radio sitting on a channel that has statewide access and you can listen all day long. As for a scanner, you can monitor the TG but unless someone is on the same site as you on that channel, the tower won’t carry that traffic. Also remember that county specific talk groups can only “roam” one county outside their designated area, with the exception of the mutual aid channel, which has statewide access. All state agency channels (SHP, FMO, SBI, etc), statewide event channels, DRR channels, and so forth have statewide access.

Quick question. On my 436, when it stops on a tg, one line of the display shows a tower I have programmed. Is this the tower the transmission is coming thru?

depending on how you have it setup as the cc roll through out the state so you may be hearing off your local tower but it may show on another tower if they share the same cc

The Rocky Top site in Union county GA has been silent the past few days. My BCD325P2 indicates "Finding Control Channel" when stopping on a talk group. Anyone have information on the status of this site?

Maintenance or weather issues possibly. Storm last week was strong in western area of State last week.
