That's been active off & on for almost a month. I'm mostly hearing them in the Rt.70/Rt.72 areas.

That's a long list -- I can help you trim it down a bit. The following TGIDs are not true talkgroups but rather status bits applied to true talkgroups. A quick way to tell is to divide the number by 16 -- if you get a whole number then it is a talkgroup. To avoid getting these in the future turn your status bit setting to off.

16119 +7 status bit on 16112
16124 +12 status bit on 16112
18679 +7 status bit on 18672
22743 +7 status bit on 22736
24375 +7 status bit on 24368
53612 +12 status bit on 53600
58044 +12 status bit on 58032

There is more information on Status Bits in the wiki, including a table of what the numeric values represent.

Like many Motorola systems, Burlington seems to only use every-other talkgroup number available to them; note a common difference of 32 (16 x 2) between "adjacent" talkgroups. To calculate how a TGID falls into this pattern subtract 16 (because the numbering effectively starts at 16) and divide by 48 -- if you get a whole number then it is more likely to be a real talkgroup than if you get n.5. This method would make the following suspect:

16832, 37888, 38656, 47328, 53600, 57600. Your reception of these and any of the others may or may not have been the result of degraded reception at the time.

status bit

so what youre saying is i wont get so many ids if i shut the status bit off ? but let me ask you this will i still pick up the regular ids that come up during search ? and while i have the radio search off do i need the status bit for anything else to listen to the burlington county system ? will it affect anything ?

If you shut status bits off while you're searching then you will still hear the same traffic but it would come up under 16112 instead of 16119 and 16124. So you don't miss anything but it results in fewer unique TGIDs.

I don't use Unidens much so I'm not sure of the impact when scanning, but rest assured that turning status bits OFF will not reduce what you hear. Turning it ON may or may not reduce what you hear.

Can anyone here answer this? Say a scanner is scanning, 16112 is programmed and unlocked, and status bits is on. When the system transmits 16112 with a status bit of 7, would the scanner open up or does it need to be programmed with 16119 to open up?

status bit again

ok thanks for the information about the status bit mode but just for the record here i have had the status bit off all this time i just checked the setting just now while picking up all these talk groups on search mode so what do you think these ids could be then ? if they are normal ids maybe some new ones ?

Does anyone have a good BCTool or FreeSCAN file for this TRS . Im looking to trade files with someone .
I done lots of work making files for the DelVal area. But this is a big system.
PM me if you do.
Thanks Mike N2ICV
