As of 2141 tonight, I am still hearing traffic on the IMOS TG's... I Imagine they are doing testing on those new encrypted TG's

Enjoy it while it lasts....

Had a good hours worth of traffic on 9802 with 6 radios chatting. Nothing over the Windsor site, but everything was coming off of the Tecumseh site. No idea what they were saying due to encryption, but they were very chatty.

So far just about 90% of everything on this system has been encrypted. All Essex County Fire is encrypted with Key ID: 6
St.Clair College in Chatham, Windsor and downtown Windsor campus, all encrypted with Key ID: 5

I assume DSD+ does not save and upload over the air talker alias to a database for DMR systems like it does for P25? Be handy if it did/could.

I'm here a lot
King City Turbo Connect site 13 (460.1125) is showing ETR vehicle Source Aliases (ETR 7-25, ETR 20-25). Toronto (ETR 7-25)

On the Fleet Connect King City site 13 (463.6625), I'm seeing ETR 10 with IMOS.

No. But it does save collected aliases in your DSDplus.radios file
Figured for larger systems like this, any RID I came across that didn't decode the alias would update from the DB file like the P25 systems. Future update, perhaps?

9802 is very busy again today. 2 RID belong to KELCOM, so I'd guess they are doing testing or installing the radios in Windsor and then delivering them out there or something. Cant think of any other reason a radio would be affiliated to Windsor.

If I were to guess, I'd say highly unlikely. I can think of a couple reasons why.

1. Most people don't care about DMR systems to that extent.
2. Most DMR systems aren't sending talker aliases
3. It would be extremely difficult to differentiate DMR systems to store that info in a DB

To elaborate on #3, P25 system WACN:SysID are pretty much (not totally) unique per system. Rarely do you find more than one P25 system with the same WACN:SysID. On the other hand, for DMR TIII to differentiate systems you have to look at the Network Model (S/L/H) and the Network ID. In so many instances those who deploy TIII systems configure them with some defaults (like Network ID 13). So there would be no sensible way to differentiate all of the TIII systems from each other in the way that can be done with P25 systems.

I ain't the author, but I'm gonna say that this feature is never going to happen :)
