Do you think there will be more station tgs? Can you relate each tg to a particular station / company?

No idea, my *guess* is that these are training academy talkgroups but were just being used for station training. Yesterday was the only time I have seen those 2 talkgroups active so need more info to make any identification.
It is rare to hear/see any activity on any talkgroups for fire other than Alpha-November.
The other talkgroups are either logins or some random key ups. There are 2 encrypted talkgroups that have had some activity on them but no idea what they are as they have had regular apparatus RID's active on them and not specialty units (FIB, Chiefs, etc.).

School Bus patch from the P16 (talkgroup 5680) to P25 (talkgroup 8606) came online again today. It has been down for months.

Schools & Schools Security Comms Center have started to use their talkgroup (8608) with their reprogrammed radios.

Seems that the AAPD Ch.5 Edward (CID) channel patch from P25 to P16 has been taken down. Northern, Eastern, Southern, Western are still being patched back to P16.

Does anybody on here do any programming? I have a Unication G5 and would like to have it programmed for AACO Fire.
I'm sure that there are forum members that could help you out, BUT there are many ways to set up a Unication radio to receive a system. The biggest limitation is that Unication G4/5s only have 8 knob positions per zone, and AACo Fire has 16 "primary" talk groups, plus other supporting talk groups. In my case, I group multiple tgs into one knob position: position 1 has all operational fire tgs; position 2 has tgs for north county; position 3 has tgs for south county; position 4 has EMRC tgs. Each position has tgs prioritized to my liking. I suggest that your clearly define how you want your radio set up so that anyone who programs it has some guidance about how you will use it.

Confirmed 8757 as Battalion Chief X-Ray (ENC). An Annapolis Chief requested Fire Alarm on Alpha to switch to it today.

It will be interesting to see what fire's Zone 2 will be used for. In county and mutual aid units often wrongly switch to this zone and are told to use zone 1 as these "channels aren't in service yet."
Still some AAFD units haven't had their radios reprogrammed yet (mostly reserve units). I did hear Fireboat 41 yesterday and it seemed they were using the old system.
I believe 8794 & 8795 potentially could be future BWI/MAA patched talkgroups. Units have key up on the talkgroups for BWI but get no response.

It seems that all radio "emergency buttons" are activated. Previously some parks personnel and I believe DPW weren't programmed for the emergency button usage. With the new system, it seems that all Parks, DPW, Transit, etc. have theirs active and Police Dispatchers are alerted for the activations.

No signs of any MSP Patch like on the P16 system.

Unrelated, but AAPD Air 1 has been doing a lot of water rescue call responses this summer and come up on 1 Juliette.

Does Air 1 even have a hoist system?
