Montgomery County MD Discrepancy

[tvengr]

There is a discrepancy in the Montgomery County MD database. There are 2 listings for talkgroup 7G11.

4350	10fe	T	MCFR 7G11 LFRD 1	7G11 Local Fire and Rescue Departments 1	Fire-Talk
4355	1103	T	MCFR 7G12 LFRD 2	7G12 Local Fire and Rescue Departments 2	Fire-Talk
4360	1108	T	MCFR 7G11 CERT	7G11 Community Emergency Response Team	Fire-Talk
4370	1112	T	MCFR 7G13 OpsAdm	7G13 Operations Administration	Fire-Talk

"This forum is for questions about the database such as how to use it, layout or usability issues or suggestions for improvement. It is not for pointing out wrong information or getting help with programming."

The proper course of action is to make a submission to the system with the necessary correction.

Thank you. I don't know what is correct. Where should I point out database errors?

 

[GTR8000]

If you're unsure as to which is correct, then you'll probably want to check with locals before taking any action. I would suggest clicking the Report link in your first post and requesting the thread be moved to the MD forum.

Done!

As far as I know, most of the Fire TG submissions to the database for the Montgomery County, MD P25 system were added in by MCFRS staff/volunteers. Unless if it was a typo, perhaps the 7G11 alpha tag/description for both local fire dept/stations and CERT TGs was intentional, or if not, it was a very good catch you've made and I'd defer to them for a more definite explanation.

EDIT: However, taking a look at the new P25 fleetmaps, it may be that the CERT TG should be 7G13? If I'm reading it correctly.

Concur - it looks to be a typo on data entry, as the Op Admin should be 7G15. Seems to fit with the tg numbering scheme as well.

 

[tvengr]

I agree. Looking at the fleet map, CERT is 7G13 and Admin is 7G15. Thanks for your help!

I noticed that the RRDB has already been updated with the corrections.
