CT State System Setup

[MarkEagleUSA]

The CT and MA state systems both use Smartzones with Simulcast.

"Site" 1 for South Fairfield County uses these locations:
GREENWICH, REDDING, SHELTON, WEST HAVEN, and WILTON

"Site" 6 for Windham County uses these locations:
BROOKLYN, FRANKLIN, NORTH GROSVENORDALE, STERLING, STORRS, and UNION

So if a unit affiliates with Site 1 then it's talkgroup is simulcast from the locations for site 1. If another unit on the talkgroup affiliates with Site 6 then the network will send talkgroup audio to the locations for Site 6 as well.

Thanks!!! Seeing that breakdown makes a lot of sense to me now (and I don't know why it didn't occur to me sooner). I just did a quick check of the data I have on the other Site locations and don't see an wide dispersement of frequencies like those for Site 1 and 6, except for Site 9 South Caanan (northwest corner) which shows a location in West Haven (south central).

Being able to share Talkgroups between systems would be a handy feature if it can be done with a simple UI. There are some issues that need to be resolved like if the user deletes a TGID is it erased from all systems?

What I was thinking would be a way to select an existing Group to use with the System being programmed. That would mean the ability to enter/edit Group settings independently of any System. The UI would need to have a Program Group option in addition to Program System. Any changes made to the Group would be reflected in all Systems that use it.

I wouldn't call it wasted, but it certainly doesn't belong here. Can all but the first post be split off into a new topic and moved into the Connecticut forum? I'd really like to get a better understanding of how the CSP system really works so that I can adjust my setup accordingly if need be.

Hopefully I split the original topic correctly. And it seems, from other postes that in fact the RR DB needs some adjustments in its descriptions.
