Maryland FIRST 700mhz TRS

I just recently put MD first into my Unication G4. I've been in King George, VA and Charles Co, MD more recently. I am currently receiving off the Charles site now in Spotsylvania, VA. I am amazed on what I am hearing. Does every talkgroup in the state simulcast on every site?

No, the system is programmed on a per talk group basis, and can be changed dynamically depending on the tactical situation. The site programming depends on agency needs and their areas of service. For example. the state police barrack in Worcester County can be heard on the two neighboring sites, Ocean City and Wicomico. The state police barrack in Salisbury can be heard on the neighboring Worcester and Dorchester sites. It also depends on individual subscriber affiliations, so it can get complex.

No

Just the talk groups that are affiliated to each site.

A lot of users drag traffic to some talkgroups away from where the other users are using that talkgroup. I guess some talkgroups may be restricted and not being abled to be access all sites


In my area I receive all the State of Maryland Highway Districts with their Operations Center having all up on the Baltimore site.

Get about 4 or 5 surrounding State Police Barracks with Troopers dragging the talk group as they travel. The occurs a lot when they are coming and going home and leaving. the radio on the home barrack.
