Calgary Digital Radio updates- April 2016

[thundermedic]

I have gotten word from a few of the CFD members I'm friends with that the entire bank of CFD Radios are being renumbered, with the TAC channels being split to North and South channel banks. One will be the Bravo bank, the other Charlie bank.

I do not believe they are moving to P25 as of yet. but they needed to juggle the radio around because of the new users coming on to the system later in the year.

If you hear the new Channels starting on April 3 please post to this forum until we have identified them all. I will be updating the database as we confirm the new channels.

So, according to the Untracker setup I have, the new analog talk groups that have been set-up, are non listed in the database, and have been tested are:

7920
8336
8368
8400
8432
8464
8496
8528
8560
8592
14416
14448
14480
14512
14544
14576
14608
14640
14672
14704
14736
14768
14864
14896

it also appears the radios being tested are in the 60000-61999 range. my but is that 60xxx radios are going to be either trucks or portables and the 61xxx radios being the other. We will have to wait until this upcoming week to find out what series is which.

The All Call went out just now (0605h) the the radio change over will be happening at 0900h TODAY. Get ready to record!

There has been some serious action on CDR as of late, I have logged 88 new TGID's in the last 3 weeks alone. I will take time later this week to clean up the log & submit it

I think this is right (so far)

8336 - A1
8368 - A2
8400 - A3
8432 - A4
8464 - A5
8496 - A6 (patched to A6 Air Ops 15568)
8528 - A7
8560 - A8
8592 - A9

That A6 patch is weird... The patch (ID 1213) shows A6 (213) as the supergroup, but only occasionally includes 3CD (The old YYC Firetac 6) and as of this morning has a number of RED units affiliated to it.

I'm probably wrong, but I'm thinking this will most likely become the new 'home' for airport emergencies.

Interesting, Unitrunker shows no patches active. I think Rick has some explaining to do.

 

[CalgaryActive]

Yup... still active as of right this second. Here's a screenshot from T88...

I'm running Unitrunker, but I have had friends using T88 and I was looking to install it to find the differences.

I think I may have found the Bravo TAC channels, just need someone to confirm,

14416 - Bravo 1
14448 - Bravo 2
14480 - Bravo 3
14512 - Bravo 4
14544 - Bravo 5
14608 - Bravo 6
14640 - Bravo 7
14672 - Bravo 8
14704 - Bravo 9

At least that's how it's looking in Unitrunker, but we need someone listening who can confirm.

Converting those to hex, that's what I've got too.

Cheers! Now we need to find B10, 11 & 12

 

[RadioYYC]

Is there any way to see the specific changes that were made at the Forest Lawn site?

 

[thundermedic]

Just verified the frequencies that were on the RRDB to what unitrunker was putting out. I also updated the peer sites as SCHC was not listed

 

[Jay911]

I've heard a lot of (analog) testing on my scanner in the past few days on 1840. Supposedly had some hits according to Unitrunker on 1856, 1904, 1920, 1936, and 1984 as well. The testing on 1840 and some of those other groups have been using a radio ID that is not in the known RIDs - 6200 range.

It could be someone testing new TG for the City members, or Transit getting ready to migrate
