East Central Oklahoma County Emergency Network New Talk Group Thread

[simpilo]

Whew! Long title for a thread! This new system is still being populated ever so slowly.

New talk group 3525 popped up. Sounded like County Fire. Not sure yet. Help me figure it out.
They were called to a grass fire on I-40 and they where calling Central Dispatch. Dispatcher is a female's voice. Alert tones where transmitted.

...........and i forgot to get the source radio ID

Most likely Pottawatomie County Fire. Pott County uses a “Central Dispatch.”

I would submit it but I don't know how to find the HEX for talk group 3525. If anyone already has submitted it, Thanks!

You don't need the hex number to submit talkgroups. Just use 3525 or whatever it was in decimal.

If you are running Windows or most Linux distros you should have a desktop calculator program. (I guess Windows 10 still has it but not sure) It should have an "advanced" or "programming" or maybe "scientific" mode that will convert hex/dec. There is probably some easy way do do it with a spreadsheet too but I don't know how.

submitted without HEX.

submitted without HEX.

Unlike with Type II systems where the status bits were inadvertently included in TG numbers by hobbyists, P25 TGs are just straight hexadecimal (no need to shift 4 bits to the left).

not the channels... the tower.

I think the mcloud antenna is working. I put frequncies in my scanner and hear activity on them. Had to lock out one of the frequencies. All it had was constant noise.

I've left Trunk Recorder on the North OKC site, super quiet. Can go hours without hearing a call other than OUHSC PD.
