This is complicated so bare with me. I scan on Uniden scanners. I scan the heck out of DPS and local stuff. I program most all P25 frequencies as a single frequency trunked system then run the scanner in ID search mode. On the P2 scanners this allows me to see specific TG's in use along with user ID's. It's great for getting around the Big E word as many agencies seem to use E on one talk group but not another such as Commerce PD for example. Commerce PD uses TG 3 and 11 the most. 3 seems to be car to car and 11 seems to be the Dispatch channel. 3 is in the clear and 11 is not. This works pretty well on Greenville PD also.
With Texas DPS Let's say Texarkana, I get two major Talk Groups. 1 and 65535. 1 appears to be full duplex and 65535 Only the Dispatcher. User ID 5 shows up on TG 1 and appears to be the console operator. When I get the TG 65535 I then see the 6 digit ID's of the mobile unit. User ID's flow in I see 5 and 6 digit ID's as you would on Richardson or PAWM.
I stumbled across this as Fannin SO is about to move to this format. 4 TG's 3 encrypted leaving Dispatch in the clear but with the ability to secure it when needed. I liked it so much I did this will all P25 conventional and was amazed at how much was actually programed utilizing multiple talk groups on a single frequency.
So my question is, Can this data be submitted to the database? Or does anyone care as long as they can somewhat hear the channel. Oh, this method does not appear to work on Whistler scanners. Only Uniden, so far.
Thanks!
