What agencies have not transitioned and why?
there are many agencies running their Moto XTS UHF hardware, the patches from UHF Law to the TRS will remain until the transition is complete for the subscriber side of things

How about listing a few examples for those of us outside the area who are curious? Who is still using UHF links vs who is fully on the TRS at this point?

The MC Sheriffs Department are all still using their XTS2500's therefore anything MCS related is still on UHF
City PD are all equipped with XL-200s and are now over on the TRS yet the patches to the UHF repeaters are still on
I don't know about Towns North and West, but based on unitrunker activity, I'm seeing more RID's show up on their TG's.

UHF in essence will not be taken offline until the whole county has moved over for interop purposes. At that point, all of the radios will have their AES keys loaded for the TACS and the UHF will be shutdown.

I've noticed that both TGID's on MC FD Disp Link & MC FD Ops 5 Disp have id's of TGID 50555.

i think we've beaten the dead horse enough regarding the patches on the trunk, they always change and will continue too, today is 50555 tomorrow will be another random 505XX...
The only additional note I will add is that there are clearly constants on the trunk that are either always or very consistently patched together:
  • 1076 & 1811 to make a complete Channel 5 MC Fire Dispatch including the QCII tones over the air
  • 2422 & 2433 Sherriff East and West
  • 1025 & 1027 Pure Waters Field & Sewers
  • 9711 & Various KROC TG's for Airport Operational
  • I have been noticing more and more a patching of RPD East & West but usually related to some incident and or event
  • There are more to add but not as significant and change a lot

Thank you for an excellent summary of the patch situation which I hope will stop the repeat posts and submissions every time a patch ID changes.

TG 2369 which is right above all the RPD TGs has seen 1000+ hits this week and is fully encrypted TDMA, obviously I have no clue what it is, but speculation is its encrypted RPD tac something
Other observed Active Encrypted TGs on the trunk:
2016 TDMA
2124 TDMA
2129 TDMA

Likely some RPD special unit. From what I've been able to gather, division specific (SIS, TACT, etc.) encrypted analog frequencies are being phased out in favor of the trunked system.

Is there any consistency with when they're working? If it's all between 10 PM and 7 AM my bet would be Tactical Unit, especially with that many hits.

2124 seems to correlate to SWAT trainings. I've always found it a little strange, especially as SWAT usually operates in the clear, or on an encrypted analog.

The 20xx series seems to be exclusive to various investigative units, although I have heard SWAT units on those channels (nothing of note, just seemed to be on the wrong channel), but they probably just have those programmed in for interoperability during high risk surveillance and the like.

all day, I'm not actively monitoring in the later evening. All together Law Enforcements native activity on the trunk has ramped up in the last 2-3 months.
