Their has been a lot of Tg's added with UNKNOWN as to who is using the Tg just a description of a cab or salt truck. These entries should not be entered with incomplete info. How the entries are getting thru a ADMIN is doing it. I tried entering a TG on a different site and got denied for the same thing. Why the double standard?
It's easy. I'm adding them. On business trunked systems, more often than not it is not possible to identify the exact agency using a talkgroup nor the precise location where they are using it.
What we require is a reasonable description of usage and then it is added [as an unconfirmed] talkgroup. If you don't want to hear unconfirmed talkgroups, it's simple enough to not program them in your scanner.
As for double standard, it's hard to say if there is a double standard or not. I don't know what your other submission looked like or who worked it.
for instance, if you are submitting a TG for a public safety system and you say "I hear medics on it", no admin is going to add "unconfirmed medic talkgroup". A medic could be heard on a fire/ems dispatch channel, a localized fire/ems dispatch channel, an interop channel, etc, etc. So in no way would anybody add such a talkgroup for a public safety trunked system.
Business trunked systems are different simply because (a) there are not many people listening to them in order to identify the talkgroups and (b) dispatch and users rarely ever say the name of their company/agency, (c) and the users on the talkgroup could be from 50 or 100 miles away on a far flung site.
