Scanning in Durango

For listening to Durango PD from Durango, the best Control Channel is Smelter Mountain (2-023) (La Plata). This will give you the best coverage of the city and county's talkgroups.

The city uses a 3 digit numbering system to identify each unit. The first number is usually 1, the second number is the district number, and the third number is the car in that district. For example, 134 would be district 3, car 4 in that district, which also implies that there is a 141, 142, and 143 in the district.

  • Code 1: warrant / want / protection order
  • Code 2 (person, plate): clear a (person, plate)
  • Code 3: standard
  • Code 4: standard, but also used in place of 'copy'
  • Code 5: meet with...
  • Code 6: not used
  • Code 7: standard
  • Code 8: in service
  • Code 9: not used
  • Code 10: giving transport to [1 adult male] to [location]
  • Code 44: situation under control, no more units necessary


Scanning County Fire Rescues

All fire pages (not necessarily TAC channels) are simulcast on the DTRS as well as their respective conventional channels (e.g. Animas FPD). Fire rescues in the area use conventional channels when DTRS coverage is poor, so it is a good idea to have both in your scanner. Conventional channels are not named based on their rescue authorities' name, rather the Fire Protection District's name.
