[FEDCOM] DHS

>>>
If I put in "none" then if I understand your response, I should receive P25
and perhaps some junk.
<<<
Yes, you have use "FM" mode on the Radio Shack scanners and NONE on the
Uniden scanners. Unfortunately you may hear some junk, but that's life.

>>>
I was sent a list of DHS Radio Net 1 frequencies.  Do they use all these
frequencies or are they assigned regionally?
<<<
I believe that all of the NET frequencies are programmed in the DHS radios,
but only certain ones are used depending on what repeaters they have set up
in what areas. While there is certainly the possibility that any of the NET
frequencies might be used, in everyday life, they may have 3 or 4 that are
most active in any area. But also note that many of the NET repeater output
frequencies also are in the radios as simplex TAC frequencies. For example,
NET 35, with a repeater out of 163.1250 MHz is also in the radio as TAC 7
as a simplex channel. So it might pay to keep the whole list in the radio,
if you have the space.
