These ID's..... what are they actually? PD? Shared between PD's? Etc.

What is the P and A for?

These are Pool/Interoperability channels for the Metro Region of ARMER.

The Pool/Interop Channels are:
Metro:
ATAC 1-4 - All system users
PTAC 1-4 - Public Safety Users
EMH Com, call 1-4 - Metro Hospitals

State Wide Pool/Interop Channels
ETAC 1-4 -EMS
STAC 1-4 - All System Users
LTAC 1-4 - All Law Enforcement users
FTAC 1-4 - All fire departments

There are also regional P-Tacs and A-Tacs for each of the regions that already are on the system outside of the metro (SE Minn and Central MN). since the development of the system outside of the metro is in its infancy, i dont know if these regions are based on State Patrol Regions (2100 district for SE Mn and 2600 District for Central MN) or if they will take some other shape...

Most of the reports from the State on ARMER list the expansion following State Patrol Districts in the following order
Metro
Rochester, St. Cloud
Brainerd, Duluth
Marshall, Mankato, Detroit Lakes
Thief River Falls
