Title kinda says it all. Anyone on this board actively monitor the RACOM system, more specifically the digital talkgroups? Kinda curious to see if anyone has been watching the new GIDs showing up in the Mtown/DSM area.

I sometimes run Etrunker on the main Des Moines site, but haven't in a while. Guess I should start it up again.

There has been a recent flurry of new digital activity on the Des Moines site. Mainly i the 460-480 GID range. Havent been able to hear much traffic but i cant find any record of these GIDs on RR or my personal info. Wonder what they are up to lol

I understand that most of the state agencies on RACOM are switching to ProVoice. It may be related to that move.

The state doesn't have many talkgroups to use on ProVoice do they? Maybe the facility in Fort Dodge, Emergency Management,Public Health network and maybe a few more but I guess why would they even want those ProVoice on them? I can understand the prisons maybe but why the others? Maybe someone else has better info on this.
