Hillsborough County (EDACS and P25 32D.1E306)

Yes, I did the other day and it's been added.

All credit to @batdude for making that possible as well.

I'm away from home this week enjoying some much needed R&R so if any of the other tac channels light up please be sure to post here.

I cannot figure out how to scan for TG's on my 200.

You'll need to turn ID scan on in your favorites list in Sentinel.

10547 is HCFR Tac 3.

 

[frankbreden]

10545 is HCFR Tac 5

 

[zlandmedia]

So I guess at this point it's probably okay to submit the rest of the tac channels to the DB following the xxx -> 10xxx format.

I would prefer that these be confirmed before submission with a blanket "10xxx" format. there could be changes.

10545 sounds like Tac 1

I believe University of Tampa PD is operating on TGID 11351 as well.

Edit: Confirmed TGID: 11351 is their Dispatch Channel. Submitted the request to DB Admin.

Just a little nit pick. UT doesn’t have a police department. Their campus security officers are non-sworn. Tampa PD responds to the campus when LE is needed.

Hearing Strawberry Festival comms on 10401 & 10402, mostly 10402. Sounds like the Sheriff.

Overheard a few Hillsborough County Fire transmissions on the P25 System while while visiting family. TGID 10572 appears to be a Dispatch channel as it had the synthetic Samantha voice asking a Engine to respond to a call. TGID 10542 also appears to be a dispatch channel as this one had a dispatcher(?) follow up after the transmission on 10572 to confirm if the Engine was responding to the call in Riverview.

I'm observing the same thing. Sounds like HCFR now has 2 dispatch channels, maybe for different areas of the County which we'll have to figure out. It all makes sense. The County is growing and one dispatch channel is no longer enough. Getting new radios is a good opportunity to add another dispatch TG.

^ Looks like those aren't in the database. If you're sure those are right, you should go ahead and submit it.

10542 is the main dispatch channel, by human voice. It appears on both east and west sites.

10572 is Tac 16, only on west site. They’re just testing the automated dispatching there. The channel has always existed (on EDACS as 572) but never in the database.

If you have the ability to monitor both channels simultaneously, all dispatches are being heard on both. Nothing is being segmented currently.

Interesting. It sounded a lot like police chatter due to them using some 10 codes back and forth with their dispatch. Their security must either be former law enforcement or TPD has a dedicated channel for when on campus. I won't be back in Hillsborough for a few weeks so I can't listen further unfortunately.

No doubt they use codes. The tacti-cool security company I worked for used more than the police department I worked for. It was kind of silly.

TPD officers do have access to the UT channel for off-duty details but the school itself does not maintain a police department.

Odd that they gave them their own talk group for such a small operation. I guess since HCSO and HCFR already invested in the P25 system it it’s basically costs nothing to allocate that talk group.

From my limited knowledge/understanding of these systems, dumbing it down it is essentially like just creating another voice channel in a Discord or TeamSpeak server?

Keep in mind that HCC Public Safety is also on the Hillsborough County EDACS system and will likely be migrating to P25 in the future.

The thing everyone is missing here is that this is an income stream for Hillsborough County. Both of these schools were on the EDACS system (for whatever reason/s) and I'm quite sure paying rent for its use. It would only make good business sense to offer them the opportunity to move before finding a new vendor.

Saw 10546 Tac 2 active this morning.

Not quite sure how to do a wild card talkgroup with my Uniden BCD436HP.

Just put the scanner into ID Search for the system. While scanning the system, press FUNC and then E to toggle between ID Search and ID Scan.
