I’m trying to understand talkgroups. I live in Lucas county, Ohio
So for the police here, is each alpha tag a talkgroup or is the whole list pictured one talkgroup.

In the picture that you attached; TalkGroups are the numbers listed under the DEC column (DECimal).... thus, TG 10440 would be for Central Patrol, TG 10448 for South Patrol, etc ...


Hope this helps,

Also the ones listed under "Mode" as "DE", the capital E stands for Full Encryption... You will not be able to monitor them...
And the scanner does not scan all those talk groups under the DEC column... It monitors the Control Channel for that system...
The scanner will show what talk group (Channel) is active from the info it receives from the Control Channel...
