Great River Energy Talkgroups

[sonm10]

Has anybody been able to identify the talkgroups for the GRE system? Some listed in the database are very generic.

Off the Melrose tower I get TG 13[GRE Transmission], 151, 181, 217 consistently. 79 also is new. Listening to recordings from the last storm, I heard tg 217 mention Blomkest which I assume would be apart of Kandiyohi Power coop? Not sure.

Anyone have a map of substations? They don't usually use real name locations. Would be beneficial for IDing talkgroups.


Thanks in advance for any direction.




Also, per DSD+, Vining and Sauk Rapids are showing ISOLATED.

I've got SDRs capturing the Litchfield and Glencoe GRE sites now. I'm starting to save control channel data and audio if you want it.

Other than McLeod, Wright-Hennepin, and GRE Trans, I do hear 223 which I haven't ID'd yet.

For substations, the planning zone maps here may be useful:

Drove up to Sebeka today, I saw affiliations for a couple of talkgroups.

TG 151 - UIDs 29006 29012 29020; probably Todd-Wadina Electric Coop
TG 215 - UIDs 14025 14026



Also, got this Affiliation Request; Tgt=38 Src=SYSTEM [SYSTEM]
I can never remember, is TARGET the TG or the radio?
