By "letter number combos" do you per chance mean hexadecimal format? 0-9 and A-F? If so, then you have to convert them to decimal format before you can enter them into a scanner.

I think your probably correct about converting , will have to try that next! Thanks!
If the TGID's are 3-4 characters and range from 1-FFFF, then it's indeed HEX format. Very simple to convert to decimal, either one at a time by using the Programmer feature of Windows 10 calculator, or an online converter (Google "hex to decimal"), or in bulk using the HEX2DEC function of Excel or something similar.
"Still think we need talk group numbers to program.....tried entering letter number combos and that doesn't work...….looks like sheriff dept is also encrypted with law enforcement. "
As of 8/30 I have logged 78 Talkgroups and 246 Radios.

Thanks for the info! Looks like they are using 3 digit TGID, just have to match them up with services. My Son has had the Train the Trainer classes and Wednesday they have their End User Training so maybe he can get actual list of TGID and Services if available.
I really wouldn't be to concerned with talkgroups at this point. I just run ID search. When it goes live we should be able to ID the unencrypted TGs within a day or so. Unless you actually watch someone transmitting on an encrypted TG there is no way to verify it in a manner that can be submitted to the data base. I remember my first crystal scanner, a Radio Shack PRO-16, back in the early 70s. I had a good list of EPD and MPD codes within a week.
I think they must still have a lot more radios to program, it is going to take a lot more for all the users in the county. On a "busy" day I might see 10 new ones usually 4 or 5 if any.

Hearing encryption on TGID 201 and 209 today.
202 also. This plus other data leads me to think the 1xx TGs will be FD & EMS and 2xx PD.
You could be right!

Millcreek police are going to be on the new system and not be encrypted, is that correct? I have some others on another site insisting they will be encrypted too.
Will be interesting to see how it works, I haven't seen where they were getting new radios and haven't seen their chief on tv talking about it.
Have some know it alls telling me different on Alert Erie, so I will let it go until the system is up and running!
