• TX DPS Troopers and Game Wardens / State Park Police (Parks & Wildlife) show up on the County Sheriff primary channel.  Troopers identify as 6B70x units; Game Wardens / Park Police identify as 47xx-49xx units.
• References to "JP" are for the Justice of the Peace, which serves as the Coroner in Bastrop County.
• When we hold on a specific talk group (such as for a fire or a car chase), we usually have a secondary scanner (Uniden SDS-100 handheld) monitoring all the other channels in the background for other incidents.
• If local weather necessitates, we can manually switch in the NOAA Weather Service broadcast on 162.400Mhz to hear weather alerts for Bastrop County. (This should not satisfy or fulfill your need to have an active NOAA Weather Alert Radio in your home.)
• We recommend using any one of the numerous scanner apps that show alpha tags allowing you to see which agency is currently transmitting.
