Was at the Dallas Zoo today and had my scanner listening to their system. Was going to submit it to the database, but thought I'd see if anyone has anything to add to this... especially after yesterday's incident with the clouded leopard escape and search.

Most of the zoo staff I saw was using CP200D portables.

The system is a MotoTRBO Capacity Plus system, primary control channel is 463.3375 with CC6, LCN of 2 (this was the only LCN I was able to catch, alternate control channel is 461.6625 with CC6. All are licensed under WQQR870 and using frequencies of 461.6625, 462.1125, 463.3375, 463.7875 and 464.9125.

TG 101 is Channel 1A, this is the main operations channel. Units key up with their need and the operator will direct them to which channel they need to changeover to based on their needs.

These are the talkgroups I was able to identify based on what they were calling each channel and what they were talking about on each channel:
101 - Ch. 1A Zoo Main Operations/Calling
102 - Ch. 2 Zoo Maintenance
103 - Ch. 3 Zoo Operations
104 - Ch. 4A Zoo Veterinary Ops
105 - Ch. 5 Zoo Operations
106 - Ch. 5 Zoo Operations
107 - Ch. 7 Zoo Operations
108 - Ch. 8 Zoo Operations
109 - Ch. 9 Zoo Operations
110 - Ch. 10 Zoo Operations
111 - Ch. 11 Zoo Operations
112 - Ch. 12 Zoo Operations
113 - Ch. 13 Warehouse Operations
120 - Ch. 4B Zoo Veterinarian Ops
127 - Zookeeping Operations
