@tvengr was talking about a file he was troubleshooting, not the actual HoCo system.
Anne Arundel County Radio System Upgrade

Oh okay I guess I missed that part.
The RR database shows only one talk group for the county Department of Highways and it is labeled for southern district. Does anyone know if there are other TGs not listed or if the county uses the one talk group county-wide?
Which system?
Anne Arundel County - Am I not posting to Anne Arundel County Radio System Upgrade?
Right, the P25 one says there are multiple, but public safety (excluding MOST Fire/Rescue TGs) talkgroups are all fully encrypted. Not sure why it doesn't show you.
There are three highway divisions organized in Anne Arundel County Public Works: Eastern, Western and Southern and seven yards. It's possible that other tgs have not yet been Identified as this is a relatively new system. Or perhaps there is only one tg for the entire county. You will have to listen to the system to find out. If you discover them, please submit to the RRDB. Also note that the St. Margarets Yard (Eastern District) had a fire recently - not sure if they are still operational, or working out of another yard.
8697,8698,8699,8700,8701,8702,8703,8704,8705,8706,8707 are all DPW related talkgroups. Only Southern District utilizes their talkgroup for whatever reason and they use it very rarely unless there is a weather related event. On the other talkgroups, sometimes there is some very light chatter/key ups but usually when a user calls for another user, there is no response.
On the Southern District talkgroup (8697) during weather events, only southern parts of the county have been mentioned.
From what I gather, they heavily use cell phones and not radios.
If we actually get snow this winter, maybe these other talkgroups will become active.

I thought he wasn't bale to see the other TGs... my bad Mr.
Anyways I cannot help with DPW sorry mate
Interestingly barely any radio traffic from Roads (highways) even with the heavy snowfall. Only 10 radio transmissions copied since midnight and most were just keyups.
I believe Supervisors do but not sure about the dump trucks.
8699 - DPW Highways Eastern District (minimal radio traffic mentioned various roads in this area)
