Line 1: Line 1:
To properly follow ASP, you actually want to program in ALL the sites that you can receive. As with any mobile unit on an wide area TRS, as the unit travels, it switches from site to site as its radio gets the best "capture" of an given site and affiliates with it. With the Simulcast, all traffic from all 3 sites is shared simultaneously between them. So anywhere in the coverage of those 3 towers and an radio affiliates, you will hear its traffic on all 3 of them. Most ASP units in the Little Rock area will affiliate with the original stand alone sites as they get in "capture" range of them. Once the simulcast is fully up to speed and fully linking to the surrounding area in the zone, things could get interesting for monitoring ASP, AHP, etc...

To illustrate this properly, lets say an ASP unit gets into an chase that goes from far East of Little Rock, proceeds through Little Rock, and finally is terminated in lets say, Lonoke? As the trooper drives along, his radio will move close to several sites of the AWIN. While in the "capture" area of each site, his radio will affiliate and you can hear traffic on that site. As the chase moves on, his radio will find the next site and so on. Now if there is an person with an AWIN radio with ASP A's TG's programmed into it that affiliates on a site near you, then you will hear all ASP A's traffic as long as that radio is affiliated, and powered on. And being near Little Rock, you literally could hear traffic from any, and all ASP Troops as units from every district are always coming to Little Rock for multiple reasons.
