Do dispatchers at OPP comm centres decide which talkgroup is used for patches?
Case in point; Niagara & Burlington are always patched. Tonight 5C and 5G (and 5 tango) action was on 8736. There was an 'occasion' that popped up that required 5Bravo units and 407 Units to talk with 5C units.
The dispatcher mentioned that they would join Burlington's talkgroup and voila; the talkgroup on my scanner changed from 8736 to 8672.
And all of a sudden Aurora units 5B started to appear on 8672.
