Someone is using tg 6526 tonight on the LCRA P25 Live Oak site. Looks like the NB site is back up. Pro96com shows a cc of 769.20625 I can't hear it from my location.

Looks like tg 6526 on the LCRA P25 system is patched to tg 00-006 on the SABC system. Sounds like BCSO East.

Was there something going on on the patch channel In the Scherz or Converse area or did it sound like normal traffic on the county channel. I haven't heard anything on any of those 6 thousand TG's yet, bad timing I guess.

And I use to get the NB site at least half signal but got nothing right now, just like has been for months

It sounded like normal traffic. The dispatcher was telling units to switch to east open. I could also hear the NV site from my location. I an not hearing it right now. Pro96com shows that it is connected.

RID 6047639 affiliates with tg 6526. It was on earlier today. It was turned off at 1:16 PM. It is the same radio ID that shows up from yesterday. It also affiliates with 6523 and 6527.

Hey, has anybody else been monitoring Schertz PD Trng TG # 12107 today. It's hopping with traffic.
When I just started listening about 30 minutes ago, All I caught was traffic saying that they had just
recovered a stolen vehicle that was used in a robbery / homicide in San Antonio in which 2 SAPD
officers will killed about an hour ago, etc. Unlike Military training Comms that end each transmission
repeatedly saying the words "Excercise, Excercise, Excercise" I jumped up and went to the SAPD
Live Audio Feed on Broadcastify and it only had 19 listenners and knew something was a little off.
In further listening to the Schertz PD Training TG # 12107 they kept coming with many more vivid
training dispatch scenarios in which then I knew positively these comms were just part of their drills.
I even caught SAPD asking if the LOPD officers that were helping cover SAPD could be released yet?
Next Training dispatch went something like: a 911 caller states 2 individuals were robbing an armoured
truck and she heard shots fired, etc. Many more different training situations have been dispatched
including this just now about a 911 caller calling from the Lighthouse day care center, open phone line
in which children can be heard screaming. Wow what a day of PD trainning ~ does this happen often ?

On a side note, I can just imagine a few scanner listeners not knowing these comms were drills and
being in a state of panic and calling 911 themselves to report what they heard over their scanners ?

Makes me think of KSAT-12 News listening to their scanner a few years ago in which they intercepted
an SAPD training drill going on out at Seaworld involving a terrorist dirty bomb being detonated, etc.
They could only hear the AMR EMS calls that were also taking part in the SAPD drill with mass casualties
and scrambled their media out there only to be told "How did you find out what we were doing out here?
Media says" Oh well we were listening to our scanner. SAPD says: But we can't be monitored. Then the
media says that one of their participants was only using analog comms and we really thought there was
a big breaking story, etc." That was years ago when we were in "No-Voice" land unlike capabilities now ;)

I was the one who submited that tg to the database. Schertz uses this tg for training on Thursdays. They have been doing this for the last few weeks.

Been monitoring for about an hour now and haven't heard anything on the LO site interop wise. Also a radio ID has been turned off? Confused, does that mean someones radio has been turned off by dispatch "bricked" or dispatch console has been turned off?

pro96com shows when a radio affiliates and unaffiliates with a tg on the site you are loging on. When a radio unaffiliates with a site it is turned off or switches sites. RID 5150840 was on again today. It unaffiliated at 1:39 PM. It didn't key up on any tgs. The only time you will see it is if it keys up on a tg or if it is a patched radio.

I forgot about that, haven't used pr96 in a long time..I never really liked it, seemd to log so many TG's that never get used except once every few months or less. I like the basic wildcard function on the GRE, plus I feel the best way to ID TG's that are really used by agencies. There are(from what I have seen in different agencies channel line ups) many TG's that never get used even during multi agency events. Sometimes things happen so fast that a good old phone call is faster to get info then a bunch of officers scrolling through multiple groups on a radio wasting time in an emergency trying to find a common channel. This is where dispatchers need more training on how to direct there units to switch and make sure they stay on a given channel when dealing with multi agencies.

There are a lot of unused tgs on the system. I program them and wait to see if anything shows up. Pro96com does help with IDing tgs that are not used alot. I think I know what some of the tgs wil be used for. I am waiting to see if what I think is right.

Anyone care to guess at what TGs 72 and 73 are? I left my PRO96COM running all night and day on RFSS 101 site 1, and 72/73 are patched together via 65419. TG 6505 is patched via 65300, but there is no second channel mentioned.

For what it's worth, RFSS 101/site 1 is appearing very quiet. In about 24 hours of monitoring, I only found one affiliation (rid 5010001 on tg 5513), and nothing but the CC (770.65625) was detected.

I have seen that before running pro96com on the Live Oak site. I don't know why it does that. I have never seen those tgs when scanning on the Live Oak site. I think that the Live Oak site is the most actived site on the LCRA P25 system.

It is, and finally seeing some P25 RID's from Kendall County units instead of the patched "0" ID the dispatchers have. And there has to be a Boerne P25 tower other than the Luckenbach one listed. I am still curious about New Braunfels, seems like they would be on the way to switching but the tower is still offline.

I am going to guess that site 120 is in Boerne or somewhere in Kendall county. I don't know why New Vraunfels has not made the switch yet. They were fast to switch most of the users of the old Live Oak system over.

Of course the day I was out by Lackland monitoring their system they use two TG's I rarely ever see. Who else was talking on those channels?
