Thank you for the replies. Pretty much Webster County, City of Fort Dodge, and IHP are what I am primarily interested in listening to.

TRX-1 arrived about an hour ago. EZ-Scan set up. Library updated from RR onto SD Card. Everything up and going! I'll attempt to add some of those other talkgroups that were posted later tonight. Thanks again for the advice and info from everyone.

Just listened to FDPD responding to an accident in Fort Dodge. Those units on scene switched to "COMM 6" until everything was cleared out. Any idea what TG that would be?

Does anyone else have volume problems with the Webster county P25 system, especially the Ft Dodge PD? The dispatchers volume is low and the units will respond and the volume is 3x louder. Maybe this is an sds200 problem. Maybe I need to change global filters. Does anyone else have this problem?

This has been going on back during the testing phase. The PD Units are continually asking the dispatchers to speak up.
Usually get an apology and then they speak louder or get closer to the mic...

They had that problem with the old radio system but not as bad now. Surrounding counties don't seem to have that problem. I would say the dispatchers are not speaking loud enough and not using head sets. Some of the PD officers seem to scream into the mics, it seems to be the same ones. The newer portables they have I believe have the better noise cancelling mics and they don't need to talk as loud into them. Again a learning curve for them also with the new radio system.

I have no idea how to program tower data. I can do a lot but that is not one of them. Thanks for the info.

It's not a problem with your receiver. It is a training problem with users not using their equipment properly, and a levels adjustment issue with fixed console equipment.

The only 3 pieces of data you need from the "tower data" you quoted are the 3 control channels: 769.94375; 770.19375; and 770.44375. You can manually create the new Harcourt site in your Sentinel favorites list with those frequencies and import into your SDS200, or wait until the site data is posted to the RRDB and update your SDS200 accordingly.
