First of all, it's good to be back! I recently moved to the west side north of Grand Rapids and I finally broke out my old BC796D for the first time in a LONG TIME. I am working on programming it up for my new area.
This is probably a stupid question, but here it goes -- Regarding the statewide MPSCS system. Since it is a statewide system, we have all these hundreds and hundreds of talk groups for the entire system broken down by county, organizations or whatever. We also have many towers all over the state. My question is, what decides which tower gets to transmit what talkgroups?
For example, I am living in Rockford and am monitoring the Cannonsburg tower pretty well. I have been getting crosstalk tonight from MSP region 5 and region 6 which makes sense. My question is, since it is a system that spans the entire state, what decides that the towers local to me do not transmit talk groups not in my geographical area?
With so many hundreds of talk groups how do you really know which ones you could potentially get? It seems like with a statewide system, what talk groups go out which towers has to be decided somehow right? Is there a way to know what talkgroups are authorized to go out what towers? Thanks!
