New Cobb DTRS TGs

[kk4eb]

Several new talk groups have become active in the last few days:
31309
30605
30210
31429
30620
Anyone have any info on these? Let's make sure the RR DB gets updated when we get these nailed.

30210 is Fireground 8
30620 is listed as Streets and Roads

Going with the numbering scheme 30605 would fall into the Building Inspectors talkgroups.

I've sent a request to a contact within Cobb to ascertain the other 3 TG's.

 

[b7spectra]

I believe 31309 is Douglasville. PD it sounds like, and since they are there, look for Douglasville Fire to join as well.

 

[rmiller818]

Do you think Douglasville is going to permanently join the Cobb system? Or is this like their backup talkgroups they had on the Cobb analog system?

 

[b7spectra]

They have been on it for the last 2 days, so unless their VHF system is down. . . . . .

Talkgroup 31329 is CONFIRMED as Douglasville PD TRAFFIC They are on the Cobb system to stay it would seem since all of these ancillary talkgroups have never been used on the Cobb system before... sounds great and i've never been able to listen to Douglasville reliably on the east side of Cobb until now...actually pretty lively listening overnight!! I guess Douglasville will not be participating in the WARS Digital P25 System from the state line east?

 

[b7spectra]

It's fine with me if they stay on the Cobb DTRS! I wouldn't have heard that 50/48 last night in Lithia Springs!

 

[kk4eb]

Thanks. I missed the two that were already in the database. Also, thanks Mike for confirming 31309 as Douglasville PD - it is very active.
I have also confirmed 31429 as a UASI channel as I heard Interop traffic on it the other day with Fulton - they specifically referred to it as UASI.

Do you think Douglas Co FD will leave their system to join the Cobb system?-

 

[b7spectra]

That's a tough question. Right now they are on a 2 channel LTR VHF. SW Douglas County is a little ways from the closest repeater site. If Douglas County were to put in a couple sites and tie it into Cobb's system it would work pretty good. Paulding and Hiram are rumored to be joining the Cobb DTRS, so that would be nice to be able to listen to them like Douglasville right now!

I appreciate the info you guys have provided. I have Cobb currently programmed in with the wildcard TG option. Been using Scan Tracker to log the TGIDs so that when I hard program them I know which are which. Was really curious when suddenly 31309 and 31329 showed up. Now I know. Great find and thanks.

Also had a few hits on 30843 - Any thoughts on this one?

[RickS31]

Never mind on TGRP ID 30843. I found it in the Db as Georgia EMS dispatch. Guess I'm not sure what that is but it is active occasionally.

Rick

 

[b7spectra]

Georgia EMS is the ambulance provider to Kennesaw. Like Puckett to West Cobb and Metro/Atlanta to the rest of Cobb.

 

[RickS31]

Thanks Mike. Good info as I start seeing all the great TGIDs around here.

When Cobb upgrades their system (for voice quality), you will see a heck of an improvement in the reception.

Where in E. Cobb are you? I'm off of Steinhauer near Mabry Middle School.

What upgrade would that be? Is it actually in the works to happen?

Mike,

I'm located about a mile south of Roswell Rd. and just west of Old Canton Rd. You're pretty much straight north of me by a few miles.

I believe it's called to Vocoder which will make the system sound better, not only to the users but to us listeners!
