Polk County P25 VS the old trunked? Missing talkgroups?

[Alex1041]

I was browsing the Polk County database and noticed a lot of Talkgroups are missing from the new P25 system when directly compared to the old trunked system.....

Polk County Public Safety Trunking System, Polk County, Florida - Scanner Frequencies

For example the above shows aviation and other TG's for the sheriff's department, but the below on the P25 is lacking those?

Have I overlooked something?

They probably got rid of talk groups that they never used on the old system and did some reorganization. I don't see why aviation would need their own talkgroup anyway.Changes in talk group assignments like this are to be expected when launching a new system.

Another reason why RR needs to get rid of old data...

Someone has to submit it, of course. That's a hard call sometimes because some talk groups are quiet for very long stretches.

Ah I see.

I agree, there is a LOT of old stuff to filter through........ .

For those who monitor this system do you think the old system sounded better?

I can't compare them but I often get garbled sounding transmissions on my 396xt.

The new system blows the old system out of the water as long as you park next to a tower and stay there. Coverage was much better with the analog system and rice krispies were at a minimum. Now there are no rice krispies - you just lose signal completely.

To quote a Polk deputy - "It sounds like they're dispatching us from a diving bell on the bottom of the ocean."

Also, the 10-33 tone was referred to as a signal 7 cat.

Not a hard call for the old system because it's effectively dead as far as we're concerned. "As of August 2, 2010 system is now used strictly for SCADA."

That is awful.

i love the new polk county system the old one was spotty at best from my job location in davenport, now every user might have a different view & different results scanning this system but now i get full signal from the same location crystal clear audio on my 106 i can even pick this system up from clermont which i could never do with the old system
