In order for you to understand my question I first need to explain what I am doing over here.
The role of my Uniden 780 is to monitor the “disaster” talkggroups. They are analog so this works well with the 780 and I have one scanner dedicated to things like train derailments and really anything big.
While monitoring all of the the SC Mutual Aid talkgroups in the Richland Simulcast system I heard a radio check and it occurred to me that I am not hearing all of the sites respond to the periodic radio check. I figure I am missing some talkgroups because the information here on RR is only as complete as we make it.
I setup the 780 to sit on the control channel 860.3375 and via the discriminator tap I run it into Unitrunker. Take the log from Unitrunker and import it into Microsoft Access. Run some queries against the log (which is now a table in access) and sure enough I had missed several SC Mutual Aid talkgroups that are in fact in the file here at RR but I must have missed them.
Also, I found many talkgroups that are not in the database file here at RR, for any system in Pal 800..
So I add these newly found talk groups to my Uniden 996 and monitor them for traffic. My 996 is controlled by ARC-XT Pro and every transmission is recorded. I have been monitoring these newly found talkgroups for over a week and found zero traffic. And this is running 24 hours a day 7 days a week so if anybody keys the mike I will get a wav file of the traffic…. I got nothing
Now I am thinking that maybe these are valid talk groups that are missing from the database at RR but they also are not on the Richland Simulcast system and that’s why I hear zero traffic. Maybe the dispatched joins one of the SC Mutual Aid talkgroups on Richland Simulcast and brings all of the other talk groups with him and then after the radio check they leave and take all of what I call a newly found talk group with them. I am only going to “see” the traffic on the control channel my 780 is parked on..
Now my first question. Can someone help with confirming these talkgroups that I have found to determine what system they belong to ? I did not find any of these in the Palmetto 800 CSV file so they might be truly new talkgroups.
Second question. Am I looking at this correctly with my opinion on a dispatcher joining a talkgroup on Richland Simulcast and all of the dispatchers other talkgroups are now ON Richland Simulcast from a Unitrunker point of view.
Here are the talkgroups I found but hear no traffic.
