All ranges for TG Groups now set except for the Fountain/Warren Regional, and the INDOC stuff. I will get the DOC stuff later, and try to figure out how to set the FWR one.

The intersection of CR 260 W and CR 600 N in Fountain County is about as close to the geographic mean of the combined Fountain/Warren Counties as you can get.
From the northern border of Warren County to the southern border of Fountain County is about 36 miles. That intersection is about 18 miles from either border.
From the IN/IL state line to the eastern border of Fountain County, which also lines up with the eastern border of Warren County, is about 23 miles. That intersection is about 11.5 miles from either border.
The coordinates of that intersection are N 40 12.891, W 087 18.849.

Due to the circles we have to use... I put the radius at 36 miles... Since that is the ONLY way to hit both North/South borders... Yes it dos grab a huge chunk of IL, and surrounding counties, but until we enable an more accurate poly framing that is the best I can do. To those who will complain, save it, zip up a better way, and send it to Tom and Lindsay.
I will get more of the FCC licenses and other data locked in Tuesday when I am off again.

Is there any reason why unitrunker would show the wrong control channel for a tower? I'm trying to enter a site into unitrunker with the control channel parked at 853.4125 but when I click start the site window pops up and it has 853.8875 in red. 8875 is the control channel of a neighbor site and this doesn't make sense. I've confirmed the signal is 853.4125 with an SDR program.
Everything else checks out fine, NAC and voice frequencies.

Unknown TG 10249
Can anyone help identify talkgroup 10249 on the SAFE-T P25 system?
Several days ago there was a lot of activity on this TG on the Bloomington site. Most of it was encrypted, but there was at least one radio transmitting in the clear.
All of the RIDs had a 99 prefix. Does 99 indicate a Federal user? I've only logged a handful of 99 RIDs on the Bloomington site.
My guess for 10249 was going to be USMS, but I see they're already listed as talkgroup 21182.
Thanks.

Remember the following Federal agencies all have SAFE-T access - FBI, DEA, USMS, ICE, USFS, BATF, USF&W... And there are a couple of SAFE-T radios for TSA users for interop if needed.

Milf, why worry about limiting the talkgroup groupings to just their "county coverage"? Why not just set them to the range of the state system? Having the talkgroup grouping cover a large area doesn't slow scanning. By setting the groupings to cover such a small area, we now have to increase the range we scan. This will slow scanning by adding unuseable and/or unnecessary sites.
In my case, I live very close to Versailles. Ripley, Jennings, Dearborn and Ohio counties regularly affiliate with the Versailles site. Jefferson, Franklin and Switzerland do as well, but not as often. I can set the range to 0 miles (for example) and monitor all of those talkgroups. With the talkgroup groupings reduced to their current ranges, I now have to increase the range to 5,10 (or more) miles. This also unlocks a whole lot of sites that are way out of range. This seriously slows scanning.

Yankeetown Tower...Just exactly who uses this tower? All I ever hear are regional dispatches and WARRICK County. I don't hear Dist 34 or Dist 35 State Traffic. You would think Dist 34 would use the tower at the very least.
Agree....I always just change the tower ranges so that I only get towers I can actually hear while mobile. More pressing would be accurate tower locations and proper ranges.
Handbook rules.

Have a barebones setup here in Laporte County monitoring the safe-t site. Seeing unit ids with prefix 46 (Laporte County) calling on talkgroups in the 0x3160 range.
IDs I've seen so far are 4610191, 4610192, and 4610313. Unfortunately I only have one other SDR, but I'll program any talkgroups I see into my radio and listen in.

So far I've only seen TGs 12640 and 12648. 12640 had traffic for a few hours today with units talking about locations in Michigan City. 12648 has only had one hit so far but had many joins over a few hours. That's all I was able to gather after two hours of listening.

Looks like 12623-12648 are assigned to LaPorte county. I'm assuming 12641 is County fire tac 1 and 12645 is County fire ops 4, based on listening to units talking.

I heard LaPorte County is expected to switch sometime this month.
Sounds like a Laporte County drug team of some kind talking on TGs 126439 and 12640. Talking about meetups for dope and other things. Also mention of the talkgroup being "secure" when it obviously isn't. Some rather colorful language being used.
Unit IDs in the 46101xx range.

I doubt it's LaPorte County Metro detectives, as they are going encrypted except for dispatch. It could be a drug task force from Indiana State Police or a federal law enforcement agency like the FBI or DEA.
