Nebraska (Statewide) Wireless Interoperable Network "N-WIN"

[KF0SKV]

TGID-3543-NPPD McCook office.
TGID 3549-NPPD Chadron office.

Both confirmed this morning with radio checks.

Let's add another NPPD confirmed talkgroup:

TGID 3564-NPPD Norfolk Operations Center, radio checks around the NOC campus on the northeast side of town.

TGID 3546, unconfirmed, popped up most of this afternoon, lots of dead keying, no voice.

NSP Troop C is now online with the Trunked system. I have identified talkgroup 3092 as a Grand Island area talkgroup. I also hear a lot of traffic on 3102 which I believe is a Hastings area talkgroup. I am still trying to confirm this.

You can listen to Troop C (along with other Central Nebraska agencies) on my Central Nebraska feed. If you listen with a play like Winamp that displays the text tags, you can also see what channel you are hearing.

Help us identify some more talkgroups. Have fun listening.

Has anyone heard any activity in north east Nebraska? I live in Yankton,SD which is on the border with Cedar and Knox County's in Nebraska. Dixon County is less than 20 miles away after you cross the bridge. I still hear activity on the Hartington Tower (42.4800). Can't hear the mobiles very often due to the old duplex system. It looks like the system they are putting in is very similar to our digital state radio system that south dakota now uses.

I am using a radio shack pro-2096 to monitor. To scan the South Dakota digital system I needed to program a custom table in it. For those of you using the old pro-96 or pro-2096, does a custom table needed to be programmed to scan the NE system as well?

well I think the closes tower for us as of now is niobrara but hopefully there is another going up in the hartington,bloomfield area

Sounds like 3106 is a NSP statewide talkgroup. Heard Troop E, B and a trooper in Lincoln that either just went through training on the new radio or just got it installed in his cruiser chit chatting with another trooper.
The radios display the alias of the transmitting radio.

Does anyone know the 6 Sergeant areas for NSP Troop C? I have found the dispatch talkgroups for a few of the Segeant areas, and am still looking for others:

3092 - Grand Island
3102 - Hastings
3104 - Kearney
3121 - Unknown Sergeant Area
3123 - Unknown Sergeant Area
xxxx - Unknown Sergeant Area

There is some activity here in the Norfolk area, but very sporadic. Not everybody up here has moved to the state system yet.

Have you tried programming these frequencies and listen for a control channel?

Niobrara-Knox county 154.69500 154.92000 155.37000 155.64750

No new towers are listed for Cedar and Dixon counties....yet....or can somebody correct me on this.....

Here is a table posted by GOLDENDOME for a Pro 96, I am not sure if it works for the 2096

If you hear the control channel, let us know so we can highlight the frequency in the database.

Ok, I think I figured out some more of Troop C listening today. Here are the Sergeant areas and talkgroups that I have:

3092 - Grand Island
3102 - Hastings
3104 - Kearney
3121 - St. Paul
3123 - York
I think the other Sergeant area in Troop C is Ord. I have not found this talkgroup or the Ord Sergeant area yet.

I also believe that 3106 is a statewide car to car channel. The other day on the Merna Tower, I heard troopers in Lincoln (around the 405 mile marker on I-80) talking about pulling over a couple of vehicles.

3097 also appears to be a car to car channel. On the Merna tower, I heard this talkgroup used by troopers in the Lincoln area (around 403 mile marker on I-80) chit chatting.

Sounds like 3106 is a NSP statewide talkgroup. Heard Troop E, B and a trooper in Lincoln that either just went through training on the new radio or just got it installed in his cruiser chit chatting with another trooper.

I just heard something interesting on car to car talkgroup 3106. NSP radio IDs are 31 and then the badge number (31xxx). If you have a radio that can decode radio IDs or when listening to Private Calls, this helps identify who you are hearing.

On another note, NSP dispatch consoles are 40xxx numbers. For Troop C, I have noticed 40013 and 40014 are console IDs.

 

[KF0SKV]

A few new....

Here are some unidentified and identifed NPPD TG's heard throughout the afternoon.

3547-Norfolk Transmission Crew, with 5 count to Norfolk radio training class.-Will submit to database
3526-?
3546-?
3552-North Platte Transmission Crew, with 5 count to Norfolk radio training class.-Will submit to database.

Got my new Pro 106 yesturday, and just lovin it! Sill a bit of a learning curve, but getting the basics down.

Help us identify some more talkgroups. Have fun listening.

I am running west on I-80 tonight all the way across (at the Gretna Rest area) the geotags were messed up on the Home patrol but i have my 396xt as backup - if i hear anything new ill advise

Tgid 3110 encryption

New TGID 3110 showed up appx 2320, full encryption. Lasted for about 5 mins. I will watch this one to see if it comes around again and to get further information.

All,

I’m trying to confirm the NSP Bridgeport sergeant area talkgroup for Troop E. I rarely hear troop E traffic on the sites I listen to.

Has anyone heard units calling to Scottsbluff on any of these talkgroups?
3052
3055
3119 – I am suspecting this talkgroup as I have heard a few transmissions that sound like a dispatcher.

 

[cellphone]

Ok, after reviewing some things, I now think this:

Troop E Dispatch
3119 = Sydney
3022 = Bridgeport

Can anyone confirm this?

 

[SCPD]

Looking at the samething you are Joe. Looks like 3010 is Ainsworth not Norfolk. 3110 poss Norfolk. Can anyone confirm this?

 

[starwtc]

This is for troop E only; I do not know how the other dispatch areas work. I only get North Platte once in a while but what I hear is only TG 3113!
When I posted the talk groups as numbers instead of areas it was because the system is new and nothing is set in stone but just to make all aware is there is only one dispatch center for each troop.Talk group #'s are close to the outlying offices. 3022 is the Bridgeport area 3119 is Sidney. Until recently you would hear the talk group from these areas, but now almost all traffic is on 3116 no matter which area of troop E the troops are in. 3052 (at this end) is secure 1 and always encrypted. When a trooper calls in (exe. on 3022) dispatch can return on any talk group and trooper will hear it, but there are changes now and dispatch is replying on 3116 also. Might be that when going car to car in future they will use thoesTG # for the area that the trooper is in, don't know just a guess. I know a week or so ago one trooper was following possible 10-47, he was calling in to dispatch that the car had crossed over center line and could not get him to stop. Another trooper 3 miles away did not hear the 1st trooper as he was on different TG. Dispatch got both troopers the same page. Seems like after this incident is when they started to use only one TG!

[SCPD]

Each Sgt area has a dispatch channel each troop has 4 encrypted ops channels and 3 non encrypted ops channel. They may patch dispatch channels together or have everyone switch to the same dispatch channel due to staffing.

Hi Ted,

Thanks for confirming Bridgeport and Sidney talkgroups. Thanks also for confirming “Secure 1”. With this, I can make some predictions on the Ops and Secure talkgroups for Troop E

3052 = Troop E NSP SEC 1 (encrypted)
3053 = Troop E NSP SEC 2 (encrypted)
3054 = Troop E NSP SEC 3 (encrypted)
3055 = Troop E OP 1
3056 = Troop E OP 2
3057 = Troop E OP 3

About the dispatch talkgroups, I am not sure why they chose to have talkgroups per sergeant area. It can cause for communications issues. There is not that much radio traffic. One talkgroup per Troop for dispatch should be sufficient. For Troop C, they will use all the sergeant area talkgroups during the day. In the evening, the dispatcher will ask all troopers to switch to the “Grand Island Talkgroup” and they will work the rest of the evening on one talkgroup. I’m not sure if this is a defined protocol, or just dispatcher preference.

Thanks for all the great information. Let me know if you can confirm any of the other talkgroup names that I have above.
