17488. Hearing it on Site 40. Not in the DB. Not really figuring anything out from context ...
Would that be City of Purcell or Wadley's Ambulance?
It appears Purcell is switching to the state system. There has already been some fire traffic testing on analog talkgroup 58928. The same radios have shown activity on digital talkgroup 17392.

Lots of Site 40 affs from down there
That kinda confirms some of the periodic testing the Norman radio techs have done. Seems they have been working on patching mototrbo to the state system so they can all translate to a common language. Next time I am down that way I am going to see if there are any 800 Mhz antennas on Purcell's cars just in case they plunge into full 800 conversion.I spent yesterday monitoring the Norman site trying to hear the new Purcell talkgroups. I got a few hits on Purcell PD 17392, but not many. Before long, I discovered that Purcell PD is patched to RMA CN 2H, 43600. I'm probably not getting anything on the digital talkgroup because Uniden scanners don't handle patches very elegantly at all. I do hear Lexington PD, 17680 and Wadley's Ambulance, 17488. I've heard nothing on the Purcell FD talkgroup, 58928.

Thanks,
That explains why the first few transmissions that I heard yesterday morning were digital and then it was all RMA. I guess that I thought that it was a patch because I, perhaps mistakenly, thought that I heard some transmissions on both talkgroups simultaneously. Perhaps dispatch was simulcasting for a short while.
I finally heard something on the Purcell FD talkgroup 58928. It was a BOLO that ended with "contact Pottawatomie County Sheriff’s Office". I don't know what was up with that.
