Adams County - p25 Radio System

[W3DMV]

You must understand that this is not big time operation "AA" County or
other Maryland metropolis. Everyone here is volunteer and do a great
job with what they have. If nothing else, were gonna have max inter-op
capabilities !

Sure - but I would not expect sanitation to have access to fire/ems talkgroups - or fire/ems to have access to police talkgroups -- unless of course it's a "shared" or emergency/countywide talkgroup (not uncommon).

But like I mentioned, this is the "fun" part!

Guess we need to wait until Monday for the new talk groups to upload to Sentinel ?

At least until Monday..data already available for GRE/Whistler radios - but that was just the luck of timing...

You could always manually program the system....

Question, is the Uniden BCD396XT & BCD996XT capable of receiving the new Adams system?

If the system is fully Phase 2 then no they are not. If there are Phase 1 talkgroups on the system then they would be able to pick up those but not anything marked with a "T" in the database.

From what I've seen/heard, its all P25 Phase 2 so -- no.... (with some potential exceptions)

I didn't think so, thanks!

So I had a look at a Fire Side Radio and here is what it had in it.

Some of the Talk Groups listed are a guesstimation but a good one based off TG's we already know. Since this was a Fire Portable the Police TG's are NOT in the radio.

If it is a trunk radio, a spin of the talkgroup selector while using pro96com or unitrunker on the same site it is affiliated to will fill in the blanks...

No I mean this was a REAL Motorola APX 6000 Radio Fire Portable

I couldn't use the radio for that. The radio is tied to him and would transmit his Radio ID # and most TG's are Monitored by County

Here is a pic of the TG's but NO TG's #'s are listed.

Nice job!

Thanks for the info. That helps fill in some of the holes
on my list.
If possible, please submit to RRdb...

 

[Quint-1-29]

I did.

 

[portroyalbirdy]

So this system is "Live" correct? If so, does anyone plan to host a feed for the new system? (I know from reading other post that some TG are still being figured out) or is the new system patched over to Low Band until everything is 100%? Thanks to everyone for the info so far!

Will a Pro-197 receive the new Adams system?

Sorry to say it but if your scanner doesn't scan P25 Phase II, or isn't Uniden's BCD436HP, & BCD536HP, BCD996P2, BCD325P2, Homepatrol II, Whistler's WS1080, WS 1088, WS 1095, & WS 1098 or any other P25 Phase II Scanner Make - Model I may have missed, after New Years or near the end of January you won't be able to hear Adams County anymore. With the exception of Fire 1 (Till the Alpha Numeric Paging kicks in) Med 9 (till the other local County's adds Adams to their Radios like Adams did to theirs), Inter Ops-Fire For that is how other County's call for Mutual-Aid, your scanner will go quiet. As far as someone doing a Fire - EMS - Whatever else "Feed", other then Police for they will be and already are encrypted for the most part, That's up to the current Feed members to upgrade to a $500+ Scanner.

If you would like I have already started a Google Doc with all the know and unknown TG's in it I can add you to the list to edit just send me your Gmail addy (in a Private Message) and we can update the TG list together that way till they are more stable we have an updated/updateable list. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Tw6k_WuKiiwcWr4MZ1J5f3uQ3JOHRm-2y8hq9TrLZTg/edit?usp=sharing

Does anyone know the frequency for digital paging that they are using now?
