Looking for Talkgroups in Brandon, MB.

Does anyone have the fire department talkgroup for the city of Brandon, Manitoba?

After auditing the tower out there today, I confirmed the following frequencies to be active. Any other frequencies listed in the RR database for this site are no longer active.

MTS Fleetnet, Zone 1 Site 44 Brandon South [Omnilink: BRND-S]

854.8625*
855.1125* (secondary cc)
855.3625
855.6125
855.8625
858.1125
858.3625
858.6125
858.8625
859.1125

The following talkgroups were active: [A = Analog, D= Digital]

18496 Brandon Police - primary (A)
18512 Brandon Police - secondary (A)

7760 Brandon EMS? (Talking about life-flight transfers with EMS dispatch) (A)
20208 Assiniboine RHA - EMS Primary (A)

51136 Dakota Objibway Police Service - South (D)
51792 Manitoba Sheriffs (D)**
64424 RCMP Z2-W-03 Brandon (D)

I ran trunker on the tower for a few hours, and there was no activity or affiliation on talkgroup 192, which was previously used for EMS/Fire stuff. Perhaps this talkgroup is now dead.

**This talkgroup is related to a series of new digital talkgroup activations just before Christmas. Manitoba Sheriffs have left analog and are now active on a series of new digital TGs from 51760 - 51904. No encryption.

I've answered my own question.

Brandon uses the following talkgroups for EMS and fire operations:

7760 - EMS/Fire Primary. Both EMS and fire receive/respond to calls on this talkgroup.
7792 - This is a secondary talkgroup for the same. It's used if primary is busy.

On another somewhat-related topic, the South Westman Regional Health Authority is no more. South Westman merged with the Marquette Regional Health Authority to form the Assiniboine Regional Health Authority. The talkgroup is 20208. There's a lot of activity on this talkgroup. According to my logs it's just as busy, if not busier, than Central's talkgroup.

I'll submit some updates to the database later. Happy scanning!
