Hello,

I was looking through the STARCOM21 database and I noticed that pretty much every ISP district has a 'Local Patch' talkgroup. I was wondering, what is the purpose of that talkgroup? My first instinct is that they're used for patching, say a local PD, in case of a major incident so ISP units can monitor...

Thanks.

I have not heard the local patch used in Champaign. Here they can patch the MDICE TRS to VHF channels (ex. IREACH) or patch MDICE with Starcom21. It now seems the troopers have MDICE TG INC 4 in their radios and talk directly on the MDICE TRS as they don't patch MDICE with Starcom21 much anymore.
