A. A. Co. TG 3120

[Admin0140434]

need i say more? heard this exactly 1 minute ago (1:12am)
sounded like officers, and the only part of the convo i caught was something about the "chesapeake center square"

havent heard anything since.

You might have to elaborate at least a little bit, in PM if you wish... I don't seem to have any info on that TG. Or is that the idea?

About the only thing I'm picking up now is the domestic in progress down the street :shock: :? on 1616.

Good... the idiot just locked himself out, he lives at that 20. He wasn't breaking in or trying to beat her up.

 

[Admin0140434]

Or is that the idea?

exactly... i looked through all my notes and couldnt find ANYTHING on this TG

i prob should have mentioned that in my post... sorry... but im still trying to figure out what it is... ive had the TG on ID HOLD MODE for almost a good hour and not a peep since...

 

[Llwellyn]

I wasn't sure if that was some kind of "tip" and you were saying only what you could, or whether it was totally unknown to everyone. I've put it in my scan lists with the fire freqs, I'll let you know if I get any traffic. I'll leave it on ID HOLD with some monitoring software on it tonight and all day tomorrow while I'm at work, see if I pick anything up.

TG3120 = TG14C = Baltimore County Police

At least that would be my best guess based on the band plan.
Where is Chesapeake Center Square?

 

[Llwellyn]

I recorded this all night, and only received 4 distinct transmissions. Two of them were unable to be understood, and the longest of them was from this morning; it was a request for a plate check on Forest Dr. between Chinquapin Round Rd. and Route 2. The second one was a call stating the dispatcher had more information regarding an assault from earlier. That's the extent of the comms. I'll keep it on while I'm at work and class today and see what comes up.

EDIT: When I say that's the extent of the comms, I really meant it. Checking the logs, it recorded for 8 hours 31 minutes, and recorded exactly 37 seconds worth of transmissions. My guess is maybe they are testing something, or someone's on a talkgroup they shouldn't be?

Okay the locations make absolutely no sense.

Chesapeake Center Square is located on Ritchie Hwy across from the Glen Burnie Mall (It's where Kmart and the Hobby shop is located.).

Forest Drive and Chinquapin is located in Annapolis City.

Two different municipalities, both using the same radio system. I agree with Llwellyn. My money is on testing.

 

[Llwellyn]

Just got home... there was no further activity on this today at all that got recorded. It could have been I was unable to copy it, so don't take my word for granted, but there was nothing further from 1035 till 2146.

I'm not even going to speculate as to what it might be as there's just not enough data.

TG 3120 would have to be on the Balt. Co. system in order to make sense with the bandplan. Since the comm was heard on the AA system I don't think it's a BCPD TG.

{EDIT} Just noticed TGID 3120 is a fire talkgroup on the Balt. Co. system.

 

[Admin0140434]

IT WAS ON THE A A CO SYSTEM...

ok, on a serious note here... everyone look at the AACO database... and tell me where 3120 falls into place.... between zone 13 and 20, so, let the speculating begin...

Llwellyn?

 

[TinEar]

That's what I did to come up with 14C Baltimore County. If you start counting up by 32s from 13O (3024), it would make sense that Zone 14 would come next. Keep counting and you'll eventually get to Zone 20A (4816)

 

[Admin0140434]

but any TG's for other cities/counties are on THAT particular city/county trunked system... same goes for TG's in xones 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9

i see your theory though...

 

[Llwellyn]

Well, since we have nothing further to go on as yet...

This is a WAG (wild-*** guess), I wouldn't even count it as speculation 8)

3120 would be Zone 14, Channel B. I know there was some talk at some time about giving MSP units in the county 800Mhz radios and linking the dispatch centers since the lowband stuff and even their VHF-Hi repeaters don't cover jack here in AA.

Perhaps zone 14 is going to be used for that, and they were testing with MSP units? Although, the fact that the two widely different areas were mentioned kinda shoots that down a bit, since the MSP Glen Burnie and MSP Annapolis would likely have separate TG's and not share one.

I know that breaks from the previously posted bandplan, as Al indicated zone 14 is reserved for Baltimore county; however, they wouldn't have any other place to put any of this MSP stuff except in one of the out-of-county zones, as 11, 12, and 13 are full. The MSP stuff you would think would fall in zone 10, but the TG ID's don't line up as such... unless somehow they've been set up out of order.

I REALLY wish there was a way (without doing anything directly to the radio, and cheaply) to snag a Moto portable's TG config without actually transmitting on each freq that it has access to. Of course, I only have access to portables without displays, it'd be too damn easy if I knew a shift supervisor at the PD or SO that actually has a display!

3120 would be Zone 14, Channel B... giving MSP units in the county 800Mhz radios

now this idea... i like... but as you said... zone 14 is reserved for balt co

but then again, when has this county ever made any sense...
