AWIN Talkgroups discovered-Who are they?

[7eng]

I've recently found a number of AWIN talkgroups on the Roosevelt and Shinall towers, but haven't been able to identify them. If someone can identify these groups it would be appreciated.

45750, 45751, 45752, 45753, 21256, 32253, 37747, 37748, 37739, 37704, 37750, 37721, 37751, 37738, 30151, 30129

21423, 21422, 23421, 27601, 27603

Thanks!

First hint: Look at the groupings of the TG Numbering... You can match them up pretty closely to existing TG groupings. Then comes the hard part.. listen, listen, and listen more. Someone will have to dedicate time to just listening to these. Another hint: think of the conversions to AWIN happening with what, 3 systems now?

Also BOLO for new freqs as the new sites comming online. And that will be in the Faulkner Co, and Little Rock areas....

Your groupings: 214XX, 276XX, 377XX, 301XX, 457XX, 212XX, 322XX, 234XX....

214 Saline County
276 Pulaski County
234 Grant County
322 ASP Radio Techs
That should get you started

Please help! Im about to pull my hair out trying to find the telk group numbers for jefferson county. I dont understand almost any of this. I have a PRO-95 and i understand ALL about the scanner its self. i have the frequencies in and when someone talks, all i get is a dull buzz. I even asked a cop buddy of mine to radio check with dispatch so i could see if i heard him and i still got a dull buzz. where can i find these ID's at? My county is ALL Moto Type II Smart net.

Your county (Jefferson) is all on the AWIN system. It is not a Motorola system, it is a Project 25 system. Your Pro-95 is not a digital scanner and is unable to decode anything to do with that system. In addition, your Pro-95 probably would not follow a Motorola system once the system had gone through a rebanding of the frequencies unless you were lucky enough to live somewhere where they did not use any of the new frequencies.

It is time to upgrade your scanner equipment.

To expand and clarify a bit. The AWIN is a Motorola ASTRO 25 700/800 MHz P-25 TRS. It uses Motorola ASTRO 7+ technology. P-25 Control Channels broadcast using 9600 BPS baud rate. It is a true digital system from the ground up. It is an entirely differrent animal form those older "Legacy" Motorola TRS's. (Type I, II, IIi's) The Legacy systems broadcast at a 3600 BPS baud rate. The older generation of scanners including the Radio Shack PRO-91 thru PRO-95 and thier base versions can not decode the control channels of P-25 systems, much less decode the digital talkgroups. If you were to manually go to one of the "voice channels" of a site on the AWIN, and a unit broadcasts, all you would hear is what we call a "digital growl" type sound. Also now that nationwide rebanding is nearly complete, if you were to monitor one of the Legacy Motorola systems, and it has added the new frequency scheme, the 95 would not "understand" the new channel numbering in effect. Now for the conventional frequencies in use in Jefferson County, the 95 should do just fine, and you can monitor any analog conventional still used in the surrounding counties. To monitor the AWIN, or any P-25 digital system, you will need on the Radio Shack/GRE side at least an PRO-96 or newer, on the Uniden Side at least an BCD396XT or better. There is tons of info on the newer gen scanners, and newer digital systems in use in the wiki. Welcome aboard, and have fun.

That was to clarify?

Let's keep it simple, it is a P25 system, it makes no difference who the vendor or mfg is. A non-P25 scanner cannot handle it.
