I see this in the Database: 28576 6fa0 D 44-SBFD-DISP Parish Fire - Dispatch Law Dispatch

St. Bernard Parish's Fire Department Dispatch channel listed as "Law Dispatch"? Why?

Mistaken tag .. Remember we are all just humans and make mistakes... When you find a mistake.. submit the corrections the same way you submit all data. Once we get to it, we work it in. TY.

Basic LWIN question

Forgive my ignorance, as I'm a bit new to this, and just want to understand correctly. What determines what talkgroups are available from a particular tower, or, are all the talkgroups available from each/any tower?

Thanks,
OrangeRider

OK here is the simplified answer:

Any radio with any talkgroup programmed into its template, that affiliates with an site (tower), will allow the talkgroups programmed to be heard on that site when they are used. If the radio has not been set up with a restricted sites template that is.

Thanks for the info. That's sort of what I expected, but wasn't sure. It would make sense that all of the talkgroups would be available from any location in the state (provided the radio allows it), hence the big improvement in interoperability between the different services. But as we all know, just because it makes sense doesn't mean that's how it works.

Thanks

Im in the Keithville LA area and have been searching today. They seem to be some sort of law enforcement in the Shreveport Bossier area running surveillance.

Does anyone have any idea what talkgroup uses the ID 6223? I was in the Lafayette area today and I heard these two frikkin idiot yo-yo's talking on that talkgroup like it was their own private network and talking about things like what they want to do with certain girls, etc., they even let family members talk to each other with their radios. Totally unprofessional and immature. They sounded like a couple of high school students talking trash. Later they took their conversation to Statewide Interop 10. These two definitely do not need to be using a public safety system like a couple of undisciplined children.

Heard routine police traffic on 48026. The database shows VA Hospital in Alex but the traffic I hear is not consistent with a hospital. Regular police traffic with a DUI this morning. Tom Lafayette.
It's not the VA.... I've never heard any traffic on this ID. (I live close by it)

I heard the same kind of nonsense coming from our Forestry Dept. (Grant Parish). So there's no telling...
