Hi all, looking to see if anyone know what talk group NWS Earle uses for fire dispatch. I only see tactical talk groups on their system. Thanks all

Based on the TGID numbering for the listed Fire Tac talkgroups, I would be checking 27660-27664 for activity. It should be fairly easy for you to figure out if there is a fire dispatch talkgroup by monitoring the two sites in ID Search mode on your 996P2.

So I’ve done more digging and NWS Earle’s dispatch is in Virginia at the Navy Regional Operations Center - Mid-Atlantic. How am I able to find out if they are using the sites at earle or if it’s a special site that will be able to receive all the way from Virginia?
It’s been awhile since I’ve monitored the system but Earle should be on these TGs which are heard on both sites:
@Tech792 can you confirm?
United States Department of Defense (14C) TG Category: Navy Regional Operations Center - Mid-Atlantic

The signal doesn't travel from VA. Earle has 2 local tower sites. One in Colts Neck and one at the waterfront in Leonardo. (Both systems get out like gang busters). I haven't listened to them in a while because you'll hear all the northeast bases being dispatched on the same TG. Then if Earle gets a fire, the dispatch center assigns them to a fire tac. It wasn't worth listening to all the other garbage and EMS runs from other bases with Earle FD being so dead most of the time. Things may have changed but that's how it was a few years ago.
Is anyone able to load NWS Earle into SDRTrunk using the RR download? It only comes up blank for me.
I was looking in here: USA/NJ/Monmouth. I can see NWS Earle in the drop down but it’s blank, only the Gateway Natl Park/Sandy Hook items show.
I can see them now - thanks very much! - BillC
A quick update: I recently loaded the waterfront system into my BCD996P2 and I'm receiving the railroad ops talkgroups great. But fire dept is dead even during a recent brush fire. I'm thinking maybe they encrypted the FD since I'm not hearing it any more. I'm going to try running it in ID search.
On ID search- This morning heard what sounded like fire dispatch do a roll call of all stations and any apparatus that was out of service on TG 27506 (which isn't listed in the DB under Earle)
Edit: Just found 27506 listed under other bases as: MidLant Fire Dispatch

Yes there’s been lots of Midlantic activity. The roll calls are also frequent. Haven’t heard much “local Earle” though.
For those who might be looking in the future. You can find NWS Earle under the DOD section which is oddly located under “county trunk systems”
Update on Earle: FD using NE FIRE TAC 5 for fire ops TG 27737 (Listed under MidLant)
Just responded mutual aid in to Colts Neck for a bad MVA.

I've found the Local NSWE groups and the Midlantic ones active. The rest are all out of the area.
Any idea if the Leonardo and Colts Neck are "simulcast" - i.e. the same information all the time, so that one only needs to tune into the one closest/best signal, or is there good reason to listen to both? I am trying to do this by ear but it's tricky

From what I have observed they will change to the Monmouth County channels to call in and communicate with themI've found the Local NSWE groups and the Midlantic ones active. The rest are all out of the area.

No Tac Channel Assigned .....
You're gonna want to program both, I've yet to see any simulcast! I'm down in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area (I did live in Monmouth County for five years and I know NWS Earle quite well) and I have seven sites programmed in to cover the area. I know, sounds crazy and especially around here is practically Navytown, USA. But, the base fire departments here are quite active, and respond off base with automatic aid agreements with all of the cities around here. Just tossing in my $0.02 in for pontification (if you willl) lol.I've found the Local NSWE groups and the Midlantic ones active. The rest are all out of the area.

Thanks, I logged them you’re correct, and ColtsNeck and Leonardo can be different but sometimes the same. SDRTrunk seems to handle it well. The MidLant tg covers a lot of geographies but has some good traffic.

@billythec awesome, glad to hear it! It's the same deal here, and Mid Atlantic Fire stays busy in these parts. Lemme know if you do get any decent fire activity for NWS Earle.
