Just heard an announcement on the A1 dispatch channel that all personnel will be taking their rig and portable radios in for programming throughout the day. Has something changed or about to change on the FD side?
Funny I queried the KCFD on this and they have not even responded with an email or a phone call.
Some of my media contacts have done the same thing, not a peep.
So much for Communications.

Thanks for the update. I see that the FD TG 33009 is still in use. It sounds like a channel that is patched with FD Dispatch. They call up units and send them to "A" channels. It is rarely used. Any one know what this is? There was a couple ones 33004 and 33005 I've seen before, but not lately. In JOCO it seems every fire station and some units have their own talk group. Ran trunk discovery past 10 day and have 68 hits not in the DB. The JOCO fire ones are 302xxx - 30256 ( last one Battalion 91 and Engine 21).
According to Mokanscan, 31841 is Platte County Dispatch, 31843 is JOCO Dispatch, 31845 is Independence Primary Dispatch, 31844 is Independence Secondary, but that's not all confirmed. Maybe someone else will provide more details.
In a scanning since for us, I think it'd be easier to have separate dispatch TGs for each area.
I heard a dispatcher refer to a unit keying up on 31844 as Metro Tac channel. There are defiantly a JOCO, Independence, and a Platte dispatch channels. I've never listened to them before, just this past week. Unless anyone object I'll send these to the DB Admin.
31841 AMR Dispatch Platte County
31843 AMR Dispatch Johnson County
31844 AMR Metro Tac
31845 AMR Dispatch Independence
Go ahead and submit it, and I will change my programming. I was listening to AMR a few months ago, to figure out how they were dispatching units. I wonder what 31842 would be, maybe another Tac? I have heard a unit on one of the TGs saying they were on Independence Dispatch and couldn't figure out how to get it off.
No objections here.
One way to pin down AMR response areas is the unit numbers:
300's are Independence
500's are Southern Platte
600's are Johnson County
31842 is LifeFlight Eagle. No affiliation whatsoever with AMR.
So I think I've asked before, but is that talkgroup a dispatch talkgroup for Life Flight? I hear traffic on it, but it seems the call probably was already dispatched over the other means of communication they have.
I am having on heck of a time scanning in Belton, I am looking to get a Yagi 800mhz antenna and all I keep seeing are ones for cell, will those work I know the are 800mhz but I want to make sure a I find one that will work.
Also has Shawnee PD gone encrypted? A friend of mine says he cannot pick them up and he lives in shawnee and when I have been out there I also don't pick them up.
TIA
