Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

I know nothing of the migration for Troop H.

Robeson sheriff is not on viper yet. They are still using analog UHF frequencies.

I was in the area of Robeson County today and I found that Robeson County rescue and EMS channels had the dispatcher using VIPER, but I did not hear units so it must only be one side on digital. It did not sound like it was analog simulcasted on viper but it sounded almost like the dispatcher was using a digital radio. Real good audio.

Also heard a little bit on the Robeson County fire talkgroup so I know it is in use, but I didn't catch it all so I can't say if it is only the dispatcher's side as well, but one could assume.

I will check on it again tomorrow. As of yet, no RCSD.

I also picked up two new TG's not in the database when I was in the Scotland & Robeson area today.

1680 - I'm thinking this might be a highway patrol tac channel but I have not heard enough activity to confirm. The TGID is in line with other HP tg's.

37504 - Unknown. TGID is numbered inbetween a digital HP talkgroup and a SBI enc tg.

Anyone have any notes on these?

1680 TROOP B 1 this was a analog talk group.This week troop B went to digital talk group .the new talk group is 13104

That is the old SHP Troop B1 Analog. Don't know why it is still active as E-Town has switched over to digital voice talkgroups. I can say that with 100% confidence. Was the traffic you heard analog or digital?

It actually is an SBI TG. Good catch as usually they are full time encrypted.
I will add the SBI TG to the database.

TG#13312 Troop C3 Digital is active this morning on the Wake Simulcast site. I only heard "M"units calling 10-41 with no response. Hopefully Troop C switch over will take place today or this week.

Sent using Taptalk.

Anyone have any ideas on TG #4528, digital comms today, I did hear "aircare one", I wonder if it could be Baptist Aircare.

Could be: AirCare Critical Care Transport Services - Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center
Keep monitoring and we will get the ident soon.
Just keep it handy (I will too while at work in Durham) and we will figure it out

Although TGID 4528 is listed in the database as NC L & T Dist 1, it is definitely carrying Wake Forest University Baptist Air Care traffic. I spoke to some of their personnel around 2 months ago and they told me then that they were planning to switch to VIPER in the near future. I'd venture to say they will have at least 2 talk groups. One for the Helo units and one for the Ground units.

TG#37568 is very active on the Tryon Peak site this afternoon. One side of the conversation is encrypted the other in the clear, tailing a vehicle and staking it out. I see this TG nestles comfortably in SBI turf .

Yep. I show it as SBI Dist 8. Good catch! Sometimes someone will forget to
move their concentric switch to ENC. Added it to the database.

I've been listening to what I believe is a Raleigh Police training TG, 40720, lots of activity but sounds a lot like when SHP trains. Anyone else hear this one? I don't see it in the database...

It is one of two RPD Academy Training Talkgroups.
I could have sworn they were in the database before now.
Nonetheless they are now listed

Starting to hear some sporadic activity on TGID 6528. I'm fairly certain it's Newton Police Department (in Catawba County) testing new Viper radios. Not certain enough to submit it yet though.

Anyone have Baptist AirCare TG on Viper? I have heard them all week on Viper, but its been when I was driving and cannot get TG id. They have been using a terrible sounding UHF repeater for a while before this switch.

[CFP387]

I did hear Baptist testing on Salisbury Roamer Dispatch just this week stating that they had their "new radios reprogrammed and testing on your frequency", talking to Rowan Communications.

[MBennett]

I have heard Wake Forest Baptist Health - Air Care 2 to AIRCOM on TG 4528 and that was on SAUTWN tower in Stokes County on 4/21/12 at approx. 13:40 hours.
