Comms are on 2244 - 58EMER1. I don't think I've seen this TG on the St Clair site before.

Odd... You shouldn't see that on a site so far away. (I am presuming St. Clair County, not St. Clair Shores, which still be too far away.)

I forgot about that patch.

Ah ok, I didn't see the patch. And yes, St Clair site.

I am surprised they would allow an active fire scene be patched to a statewide channel.... that would take up valuable resources on sites in remote parts of the state that dont have many frequencies

Only if someone affiliated to that site tunes a radio to that TG.

Just about every dispatch center in SE Michigan listens to STATW2, either by console or consolette. Yes this was a huge over site and an example of a certain group that didn’t know how to use the radio system like they should have, because that patch was blowing up dispatch centers for no reason and taking up resources.

Krokus I thought the STATW talkgroups were an exception to that rule and that anything broadcast over those talkgroups went statewide regardless if anyone was tuned in to the talkgroup or not. Is that not the case?

As someone who works in one of those dispatch centers I agree. Could have patched up 58EMER1 with MABAS2 (wayne co units) and whatever other jurisdictions were there.

The only things that are force-fed, that I am aware of, are PageGroups. The advantage to using the StateWide is that every radio on the system has them.

Does a dispatch consolette cost $12,000? Thats what it looks like in the first hit in this google search for "cost trunked consolette"

cost trunked consolette - Google Search

there are price lists here from SC(2012), FL, and NY - plus other interesting items - an overview of TRS from Science Direct for example

STATW2 is an affilated based talkgroup.
