I think the 300's that are encrypted are EMS to Hospital.Listening to fire right now. TG 201 (Fire Tac 1) and TG 202 (Fire Tac 2) as I've named them.

Thinking the "patch/Simulselect supergroup" are used for dispatches for fire and ems and maybe other special alerts. I've heard a few of them today on DSD+ and all were for dispatch.

I only get good decode with DSD+ or my SDS100 with a duck antenna. DSD+ is on the outdoor ST-2. 436 gets only partial decode from my location with duck. HP2 does do pretty well on the road though with my mobile antenna. Was able to hear them from Bangor on Friday.

Super Groups = 64000 - 65148 are patches. Most patches seem to be used for Fire and EMS dispatch as I've seen thus far.

I see TGID 301 and TGID 201 have been added to the DB as EMS and Fire Dispatch channels. I think this is wrong, they both seem to be more of Ops or Tac channels. Time will tell I guess.

As far as PD, more comms on TGID 101 than the other 100's TGID's. 21,110 since I started DSD+ on this system back on 11/13/18. It would be a good guess that it's PD dispatch.

I hope to submit some new TGID's to the DB later this week. I've been using my G4 to monitor the system from work daily and I'm starting to get a better idea of who might be who.
