Odd talkgroup

[Northerner71]

I was travelling from Thunder Bay on the weekend and I hit on a odd tlakgroup around Nipigon.
It is 45152. I can not seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone one know what this talkgroup would be?

If it was heard on Fleetnet, it would be a false talkgroup.

We haven't seen any legitimate groups over the 39000's.

If it was any other Motorola system, it may be valid.

I only have fleetnet programed into my scanner. I received the talkgroup on my wildcard. I heard voices but was unable to hear what they were saying because the kids were yelling. Do false talkgroups happen alot? I have never had that happen before. Would it be a bad read from my scanner?

Talkgroups

When digital scanners receive interference, like if you put it close to a microwave or coffee machine, it can screw up your talkgroups. Instead of 8544, it can show something like 18664, it really screws it up.

Interference CAN screw up your talkgroups. Just move it away from where ever it was.

Is your scanner set to ID search or ID scan?

Is your scanner set to ID search or ID scan?

He mentioned he was using a wildcard (this is GRE/RS - ID Search Mode)

Ah ok... I'm not familiar with GRE/RS scanners, being a Uniden man. Lol.

I take my scanner everywhere I go, I have even done this trip multiple times. I always put my scanner by the radio because there is a little lip there that holds it perfect. I was scannng fleetnet as per usual with the wildcard in there just in case and around Nipigon area I picked up a wildcard 45152. It did strike me as being odd because I have played around with fleetnet for so long that I knew there were no talkgroups starting with 4. There isn't anything up here other than fleetnet,so I am at a lose. If it were the trucks radio I would assume I would have seen bad reads at other times but I have not, and I am serious my scanner goes everywhere.

I am sorry I forgot to mention I am using a GRE 500.
