Exactly.

They just dispatched a dwelling fire on top of all the deployments currently going on and watching the city system in Unitrunker is pretty spectacular right now.

I was thinking exactly what you just said.

What are you using with Unitrunker and how are you listening from AAC?

Noticed some radio id's in the 25380xx range trying to log onto FiRST but are being denied. They should be Prince George's range.

Heard that on WTOP also along with a comment that Montgomery County sent 500 radios (apparently a radio cache).


NCR maintains a radio cache. MoCo has the ability to reprogram them in one of their mobile units (SU#?) - not sure which one.

Are there any conventional frequencies that would be used during this? I really gotta get a radio that can listen to P25.

Likely the only thing would be 123.025 for A/A helo traffic coordination over the city.

Out of all the patrol cars hit by the thugs any traffic get recorded from mic key ups? Noticed several clips of persons holding the mic while crowd kicked bashed the cars. Wonder if they inhibited if so thay was fast and good work on the dispatchers.

Just running the Unitrunker program on a laptop so I can log City unit ID 's while I listen to the various systems and also see apparent new ones.

In terms of how am I listening, I have 2 HP2E radios listening to specific City Fire and specific City Police talkgroups.

I have a 997p2 monitoring FiRST and the news media, a 996xt scanning ALL BaltCity system on search, and a PSR-800 listening specifically to MD Tac 3 & 4.

The radios are mixed in terms of using portable 700-900 mz antennas and Window mount 700-900 mz antennas.

I get the city and FiRST very well where I am.

So... Baltimore County's helicopter is capable to provide video down link to Baltimore City just like their own. Sounded like it was the first time they tried it. The county's helo is now one of two supporting air recon over the city.

Trooper 8 has been working in the city, coordinating with ground units on TAC-4 and TAC-3. Syscom has also come up on TAC-4, and has also been using 44.74.

The city police are going to begin broadcasting curfew information on their PA systems throughout the neighborhoods (I presume car PA systems) starting at 9pm.

Just heard DC Engine 10 dispatched on a call in the City. Looked like they were using a Baltimore City radio based on the radio ID.
Fire Communications complained to someone earlier in the evening that they were not notified in advance so they could put DC Engine 10 in their CAD System before they relieved another unit. I'll bet keeping that system up to date thru this is a real bear of a job.

I'm seeing a lot of activity on AACo 11N SOS channel... too bad it's enc. AACo radios probably work in Baltimore.
