Anybody have a list of all the radio IDs (iXXXXX) utilised on the King County System? I am trying to find them all but it's hard to keep going in to enter them as I find them. Thanks!

The Scannerstuff:Northwest frequency directories have beat maps with radio i.d info. .If you can't find one. I'll gladly type up the information you want.

I thought you meant the radio call identifiers. Sam Tom etc etc.
Those that would let me see, for example, what fire apparatus is transmitting. Like i36290 is the radio id for the dispatcher for Renton Police.
36290 is specific to that talkgroup at that dispatch position. If we move the dispatcher over to a different console for a repair or upgrade, the ID will change. The ID will also change based on the talkgroup used. 36290 may be primary, but it will not be the same on tac.
Well those are the IDs I'm after. Besides, the only console I've seen to be different is for different departments, and data. Even TAC uses the same one. I know because sometimes a Renton officers wants to check a name but data isn't available, so they use Tac as a Records channel.

As I think im800mhz (get a load of the hubris in THAT name) tried to tell you, you're looking at tens of thousands of ID numbers, and they change A LOT. You can nail down one radio ID, only to have it change the next day, shift, or even hour. One of our fire engines, as an example, has 2 mobiles in the cab, 3 portables charging in the cab, and the officer will be carrying one as well. If you hear the officer transmitting as "Engine-xxxx" and lock that ID in as Engine-xxxx, what are you going to do when that same officer is in a command vehicle identifying himself as "Battalion-xx"? Or he ID's as Battalion-xx on one radio, then that portable dies and he switches to another? Or uses one of the mobiles?
And the traffic on Tac isn't checking WACIC/NCIC, they're looking for local (pertaining to THAT PD) info, i.e. FIRS or other info. Look at Tacoma and LARIAT.

So there is no point in trying to program them is what you're saying?

I wouldn't.
OK. I was always convinced that there were only so many radios so not a ton of radio IDs, but it looks like I stand corrected. It would be nice to know which unit is talking but I guess it's pointless.
