Ok time now 0733 and it seems it is running , not as busy as PG and still showing and listing to UMCP PD Dispatch also. ICC PD is also using the site.
Note that MTA and MDTA are two different agencies. I haven't noticed MTA talk groups in use outside of the urban jurisdictions, but if they have authority over the Park-and-Ride lots in rural areas, I would suppose that at least some of their units / talk groups are allowed on outlying sites.
A radio has to affiliate with the towers in the cell for it to be active. The system just came online for users last week. Many state agencies are not active on FiRST in the area yet so there will be less traffic. Once MSP, SHA shops, and other state agencies switchover it will become more active.
Does anyone know if Montgomery and PG will have any TG's on the MD 1st system? or will they only use the statewide interops channels only?
Yes I know about the backup TG's if the system goes down where they will switch to the nearest site tower .
"The nearest site tower" is meaningless. If you mean site trunking or failsoft, that occurs within Montgomery's system. If Montgomery's system implodes, the field subscriber units switch to a backup Zone which operates entirely on the FIRST system and those subscribers are treated like any other user.
opps you are right about that. my bad for using wrong techno bable

Doubt if you're gonna hear PGFD or PGPD on FIRST. Almost assured by folks I know who work for them. I know for sure - PGFD ain't

I've not had much luck on Red Line (union station) or yellow/green at Capital Ome arena until you get up the escalaor. But i have not tried since new sites are running
Not sure what is going on but Tac1 eastern shore is showing up on the PG Site and Tac10 is showing up busy on the western site on the Montgomery site. I am listing to Montgomery and hearing Tac10 with no trouble at all. Target ID is 8135 and on the Tac1 Target ID is 14316. Sounds like it might be DNR or who is car 65? as it is picking up people and giving them transportation to some place. Car 35 has 10 and Car 32 has 2 passangers
Opps TG 14316 is the Law tac DUH!
MD Tac-10 & MD Tac-11 are being used for the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend events. They use FiRST every year for transportation to the Emmittsburg & Gettysburg areas. MD Tac-10 is usually patched to the Adams County, PA system for the event.
Was on a rear trip through Caroline County this week. It seems that their schools have talkgroups on FiRST.
12007 - Ridgely Elementary
12017 - Denton Elementary
12021 - Federalsburg Elementary
12023 - Unknown School
12031 - North Caroline High School
12035 - Greensboro Elementary
Unsure if Preston Elementary, Colonel Richardson Middle, Lockerman Middle, Caroline Career & Technology Center, and Colonel Richardson High School operate on some of the talkgroups listed above or have their own talkgroup.
