Anne Arundel Talkgroup 402?

[hobokendave]

While Scanning the AA County Talkgroups Saturday Afternoon at about 1:15 to 1:20 when it stopped on Talkgroup 402. The transmission came in as "Mayday Mayday...Trapped....Kitchen Area....Send a rig team". It's been repeating several times within the past few min.

I don't have a listing for Talkgroup 402. But I am listening intently and I hope everyone gets out uninjured!

The actual talkgroup was 400 or 1M on the radio plan. The "emergency" condition you copied was with status bits of +2 which would be right for this activity. It's just training, by the way. Below is the list of status bit identifiers that are added to the base talkgroup number:

TTID + # Usage
ID+0 Normal Talkgroup
ID+1 All Talkgroup
ID+2 Emergency
ID+3 talkgroup patch to another
ID+4 Emergency Patch
ID+5 Emergency multi-group
ID+6 Not assigned
ID+7 Multi-select (initiated by dispatcher)
ID+8 DES Encryption talkgroup
ID+9 DES All Talkgroup
ID+10 DES Emergency
ID+11 DES Talkgroup patch
ID+12 DES Emergency Patch
ID+13 DES Emergency multi-group
ID+14 Not assigned
ID+15 Multi-select DES TG

Thank you Tin Ear.
I'm glad it was just training. I can relax now. I appreciate the response.

It is more and likely the fire training academy doing Mayday Drills and RIT team Training. When the "downed" crew becomes trapped they will push their Emergency button on their radio and report the mayday and their location.

Someone will have to help me on this.
TG 402 is the talkgroup that shows up when the radio goes into emergency on TG 1-M (400). Am I right? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? 8) 8)

Sorry Mike..I just happened to be sitting here when his message was posted. I edited my reply to list all the status bit identifiers.
