TG 56211 talked about green tagging houses? may'be disconnection or code enforcment?
After lunch today I detected several new talk groups. Apologies if these have already been posted:
56053--radio testing
56056--radio testing
56062--tapping on mic, then later, "Ops car 7, radio check." "Operations, car 7."
56068--1529hrs Tones (Aircraft Rescue & Fire Fighting-ARFF?)
Over the last week, I've monitored radio tests on the above TG's plus TG56057. The radio id's for most of the tests were 1842xxx. But earlier today I saw a radio id of 1844xxx on TG56068 and also a test from radio id 1043 (which should be a console).
Just after 8 pm this evening I monitored the following on TG56068 "Fire 14 to Station 1". I didn't hear a reply.
Last but not least, I saw two workers climbing to the top of the Schaaf Road tower around 12:30 pm. The antenna's for P25, VSELP and one Microwave dish are at the top. Unfortunately I was leaving to run errands so I don't know what type of work was being done.
My Cleveland reception seems a bit better today .. But hard to say if it was result of anything they did or just weather conditions. Also heard the TG1 test traffic this morning.
Per traffic monitored this afternoon TG56062 is Hopkins (Ops) Operations. Radio id's are 1842xxx and the Console id is 1041. Traffic on this TG (channel) will be in the clear.
TG56063 (currently) has three different designations. It was referred to as Hopkins 2 by the Operations Console (1041). But, it was also referred to by the Security group as the Security Clear channel and also the Security Encrypted channel. For now three different designations (and channels on the radio's) for the same TG. From the conversations they were supposed to go live this afternoon at 2. Some body needs to sort this out, there are plenty of TG's available.
The Console (1041) cannot hear encrypted traffic (no audio). The Console see's the channel in use and the radio id, but does not hear any audio (when the traffic is encrypted). To monitor the encrypted traffic the Operator at the Console has to use a portable radio with encryption enabled.
Also monitored radio checks by Concourse Operations on TG56063.
At 1:50 monitored traffic on TG56050 which the users referred to as Building 1 Zone 1 channel. Next monitored TG56053 as Building 2 Zone 2. But another user said he had the channel (TG56053) as Zone 3.
Note: Again confusion by the users. Several users commented that they hadn't been to training for the new radio's.
The only thing I know for certain at this point is that Security Operations for Cleveland Hopkins has an Operations Console id 1041. Plus portable radio id's 1842xxx and so far TG's in a range from TG56050 to 56063.
Note at 2:10 Operations declared the switch over to the new radio's as up and running.Wow!
Hmm, so I should label those as Security Operations and not just Airport Operations ?

I hold off till the dust settles. Right now the comms sound like an Abbott and Costello comedy routine (Who's on First).
