Talkgroup ID's

[Lyman]

Is there a downloadable database of Talkgroup ID's for the Mass State Police?

Thank you,

Lyman

Yep, if you have the software, it is right here.

Premium subscribers may download files. Some software (like win96) will convert directly.

Yes in the Database http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&sid=736

LEH, Jerri,

Thank you for the quick replies. My scanner is a RS Pro-96 and I am using Don Starr's WIN-96.

I take it that the Talkgroup ID is the DECimal number? I.e., 33360 (as found in State Police - Statewide Talkgroups, first listing).

Also, what is the significance in the listing of 'A' for Mode? Surprised that would not rather have read "MO".

I am enjoying this newfound Hobby tremendously! But even though I've been i..n IT for 25 years (ouch) I've found that there is quite a steep learning curve. Additionally, I am thick-headed according to the Wife.

Thanks again!

A denotes analog D denotes digital E would be if it's encrypted.
Yes the Dec is the TG ID

Thanks Jerri. I am surprised that the State Police would be using Analog, though.
Here is the information for 867.31520. It's a Trunked System and therefore should it not be digital?

Below, as taken from the Scanner:

S747 AD +MO
VC 867.31250
TIDbk 01234
North Dispatch

Of the above, what I do not understand is the "TIDbk 01234". That is to say I believe it is saying "Talk ID, Bank 01234". However, if I am correct than what is the Talk ID in this case?

"VC" I assume means "Voice Channel".

Thanks,

Lyman

Hi Lyman, I don't have a Pro-96, I have a Pro-97, but VC stands for Voice Channel, I'm not sure but the TIDbk but I'm guessing it shows which TG ID bank your in. The Talk Group ID is programmed in with an Alpha Tag so it's North Dispatch to see the Dec ID when it stops on a channel/ID just hit the Text key to toggle back and forth between ID display. Remember it has to be stopped on a channel during scan to toggle.

Lyman,

Trunked has nothing to do with digital. Either side of the coins in scanning are:

• Trunking vs Conventional
• Analog vs Digital

Communication systems can be either Trunked or Conventional and the modulation used on them can be either Analog, Digital or mixed.

In reference to your specific example, the Massachusetts State Police, the description at the top of the page show that the system is mixed, capable of P25 CAI; however, none of the TG's are listed as digital.

what are your base stations?

This is your second post where you talk about base stations or frequencies in regard to trunking. I am not sure what you mean by that as the terms are not used in common trunking discussions.

Maybe he's asking, ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!

The display is set for toggling ID sub-banks on/off. To toggle, press FUNC + TRUNK when stopped on active coms. Line 3 will change to the assigned freq tag. Check Settings and Weather Page in Win96...you may have the box next to ID Sub-bank On/Off Mode checked.

Yes on VC.

Thanks Jerri, that's good to know!

Ah, I see. Thanks Lou. I thought Trunked = Digital.

Thanks Fritzy, but I don't understand....

Thanks! Having ID Sub-bank On/Off Mode checked is exactly what that was.
