After researching it I have found 3 callsigns, 2 issued to the state, and 1 issued to Ford County.

WQMN583 is the original site from the state used by KDOT, KHP etc.
851.8375
852.4625
852.725
852.975
853.4
853.8625

WQYZ271 is the new site issued by the state most likely the main site used due the amount of channels,dates issued, etc.
854.9625
855.2125
855.4875
855.7375
855.9875
856.2375
856.4875
857.2375
857.4875
857.9375
858.2375
858.4875

WQZS441 is issued to Ford County. Might be part of a simulcast.
858.9375
859.2625
859.7125
859.9625

I would start with WQYZ271 and listen for a control channel and go from there. Happy Scanning.

I mis-worded my question... I was asking if you had managed to find them, as I had those for about 3 to 3 1/2 weeks. My mistake, but thank you for the information.

Hey guys!
I am a dodge city resident if there is anything I could do to help you figure out the talk groups give me a shout. I am currently trying to obtain a trunk tracker scanner to figure them out.

Make sure you get a Phase 2 capable scanner; the new Ford County system is at least partially, if not fully, Phase 2. Also, the licenses for Ford County are a bit curious. Any trunked channels on the state system are SUPPOSED to be licensed by the State. At least that's what we were told. And my understanding the system will will have a mix of repeater "packs" on various towers, some with only 3 Phase 2 repeaters (which allows 5 voice paths), so it cannot be simulcast.. In order to be simulcast every tower has to have the same number of repeaters.

In Dodge at the current time and have found two talkgroups.
2445 which appears to be Ford County Sheriff. Possibly dispatch.
2694 which appears to be Ford County Sheriff with references to serving papers.

In the old system the paper service and sheriff dispatch was on the main dispatch channel. But maybe they changed. Thank you for the info. Did you get any city police traffic?

No I didn't hear any hear any city traffic except for the transit buses or whatever they are called. I am no longer in the city. I come through on occasion for business but it will take someone in the area to really put togethet a good list.

2445 shows as Clark County SO in the database. 2694 could be Ford SO though. Don

Ok. I know that I was hearing Gray County on their talkgroup but didn't consider Clark County on the system too. I will leave it to someone in the area to figure out as I never have a lot of time to really dig into it when I am there.

I am using a Uniden BCD396T. I also have a BCD436HP but since it isn't a Phase 2 system I haven't programmed it with KSICS.
