Wonder if the one and only "Official" Broadcastify Feed will return...

So does that mean the Sheriff has transitioned to FIRST? My guess they are starting at 12241?

They continue to operate on the previously patched TG's as of now..
Maybe that'll be the permanent arrangement? With 12241 as a Tac 1, I guess we'll wait and see? :)
I'm sure we'll know within a week or 2..
Not that it matters much to a scanner user... :rolleyes: 100% Encrypted..

Sheriff’s Office and other police are still using the old system. Hearing them right now at 1:01am 7/6. So they haven’t pulled the plug just yet.

Hmm, must just be my location.. Or they reduced power or towers.. :unsure: I'll keep it on and see if it comes back.
I imagine I'm picking up the Sylmar tower.. Didn't mean to kill it prematurely... Sorry..
Could be something with the atmosphere..

Anyone in Cecil County... How well does a BCD436 receive the MD First system?
Does anyone have the list of station tones for the P25 alerting system?

Still copying Elkton PD on the old system so far.. Ches City has there postponed Fireworks show tonight.
The town is contracted with MSP for regular law enforcement so will see if they add extra MSP officers tonight.
Gets crazy crowded packed into C+D canal area for firework shows.Maybe catch some Marine law boat coms.
Hearing event sounds like FP relieving another on 12313

Hearing Chesapeake City Fire Company putting stuff away, and random fire / ambulance calls seems sporadic on reception on the 436.

8:40pm 7511 MD NRP Area 6 reports show is apparently cancelled as "Fire Marshall departing".
reports also a unmanned boat adrift in the Canal boat basin.. will wait after the storm.

I believe 11339 is a Queen Anne Events channel. Event 1? QA and Talbot Fire are currently doing a drill on the talkgroup and I have seen sometimes Law users key up on it. It has also been used for events before too.

I have tried to download information for the Maryland First Resonders system into Unitrunker from Radioreference and nothing happens. It says downloading but it does not seem to do anything after that. I tried other systems and the same thing happened. Wicomico County and Delmarva Power also would not work. I also tried to download some data onto my computer and open it in Unitrunker but I need to spend some time figuring out how to do that.

I guess my question is what do I need to do to get the ship's wheel icon to work to download a system from Radiorefernce into Unitrunker?

I have just gotten back into using Unitrunker after getting an RTL SDR blog unit. I was using the 9 dollar RTL dongles in the past and they worked OK when I had access to an outdoor antenna but where I am now, I do not have one.

Not exactly sure what you are saying, but I download Radio Reference data into Unitrunker without a problem. Are you a RadioReference Premium subscriber? You need to be in order for this to work (and you have to enter your Radio Reference login credentials into Unitrunker.)

Thanks for your reply. I am a Premium Member and I have entered my username and password as required, but I have not been able to download Radioreference data into Unitrunker. I am using Windows 10. The pop-up window which says "Download Progress" appears but no download happens.

You may need to try the Unitrunker forums since it looks like it's a Unitrunker issue. I use UT as well, but I never tried to import the RR database.

NRP TGs 7501 and 7546 no longer appear to be simulcasting. 7546 is busier (judging by the number of channel grants,) but I've not been able to actually listen to the traffic today to figure out what is going on.

Gotta love it when you can listen to a working fire in Caroline County from your couch in Annapolis ;) Perfect comms, using a Raspberry Pi 3B+ running OP25, Boatbod edition.

And looking this morning, NRP TGs 7501 and 7546 are being patched together via console, with 7546 being the Super, and 7501 being Subordinate.

Also being patched NRP Area 1 (7551) into State Park Ops (7565), and NRP Area 2 (7557) also into TG 7565. Monitoring via the AACo site.

I'm now wondering if 7546 is a new State Parks channel?
