31127 off the FGH site (1-48) on Saturday, sounded like a tac or event channel for AAA Ambulance. Lots of football game-related traffic, medical calls in the bleachers and on Hardy Street right at the front of the USM campus. Mentions of switching to dispatch to have a unit pick up a patient, etc.

Go ahead and submit it plz. Good catch

 

[Wilrobnson]

I'm not submitting because, A- I usually don't, and B- it's unverified.

It fits in the Petal FD area numerically, and who knows, it could be a shared Forrest Co FD tac? Something from the Hattiesburg Police & Fire Academy?

 

[MississippiPI]

Understand

No one? I'm betting 30756 is somewhere in Covington County.

What radio and antenna are you using? Other than EMS it's rare to see a Covington County radio ID "Accepted" on the Hattiesburg Towers. Most are "denied" access to the towers. Pro-96 says.

That was one of the Whistlers using....I believe just the ducky antenna. It was sitting on Forrest County North (1-47) running wildcard with known TGIDs locked out. I'll be in the area again Friday for the day so maybe whatever agency it was will affiliate again.

From what I have read, MSWIN users are allowed on all but the FGH site in Forrest Co. Supposedly due to capacity issues.

On all state systems, there are certain sites that have access locked to specific users only, or block out certian users. Like an site that is specific to MDOC, if you sit on it and run Pro96Com etc., I am willing to bet you won't see much other traffic allowed except MDOC. I would also bet that on the certain Hinds County sites, you don't get much out of County allowances beyond a certain point. There is usually an "area" of allowed users around a site for interop, but use by everyone is usually not allowed, or only allowed by permission, or on certain TG's only. There are issues if "dragging" TG's systemwide is allowed. Sites can be overloaded when that happens. They found this out on AWIN, and now regularly send out reminders to all users that "dragging" TG's is not proper use of the network. This is why there are regional event/interop TG's if needed, and its just plain rude to want to monitor your Laurel PD Dispatch TG when your on a trip to say Greenwood to go fishing. This is also where the combination of FirstNet in with the MSWIN would be good, and those that use the APX NEXT, or similar radios can switch to the LTE side to talk with users anywhere without clogging up multiple LMR sites. Then you could be visiting granny over in Natchez, and talk to Lt. Dan in Petal and only have the Forrest County site running the TG. Or even be sitting with me in Indy having a tenderloin sammie, and talk to Cap'n Crunch in H'burg etc...

Good info. Wasn't sure how that worked!

Merry Christmas ya'll

Also with any FirstNet device, like an tablet, or phone, there are apps that you can PTT from and talk to the radio system if it is set up properly. Tablets and phones are not as rugged etc as an actual public safety designed radio, but are workable for certain things... (I would never for example pull out an Samsung Galaxy in a house fire to talk on the fireground, LOL... But the "keypad" and camera on that phone/tablet is so much better to put out a proper text message, or pic to send to say Lt. Dan for an investigation... The screen on that APX NEXT can do actual full on text messages and stuff unlike the "short text messaging" that older radios can do.) Merry Christmas! Check out the many Youtube vids on the LTE to LMR capabilities of the APX NEXT, they are pretty amazing. One guy demo's talking via LTE from his radio in FL to an FD in NY. And I have heard one of our techs here using that from vacation in FL to talk to a tech here to assist him in getting radios off the net here that are not supposed to be on etc (XTS's/XTL's and retired/cloned stuff). None of our guys in the field have NEXT's yet (APX 4000's 6000's 6000XE's), but almost all of the radio techs have them.

We used to call this geofencing...Likely not the official term, but close enough. Look in the affiliations in Pro96Com at denials. A lot of the smaller sites (I look at the 1-98 SOW in Long Beach and the New Augusta sites) will amaze you at how many radios get denied access.

Geofencing is actually the official terminology used. It can be set by Site-RID, TG, etc. You can set it up so a radio can only use a specific site, or set of sites, a site will only allow certain RID's, only certain TG's will work on a site etc.

My radio will affiliate to (or can be driven to) FGH but it sucks. I think it's polarized downward into the hospital.

 

[INDY72]

FGH was set up t mainly cover the local area of the hospital campus as that are was a dead zone for the surrounding sites.

You would not believe the number of TGs that are Denied on that tower. It's nearly Forrest and Lamar County specific plus the State Agencies and SEMAAD. Any other county shows denied on Pro-96.

60320? An EMS dispatch for a Hattiesburg address for a "signal 6".

Tonight I'm hearing Medic 1, and Medic 2, and Hattiesburg callsigns but no specific information all on Fountainbleu.

I believe it was Medic 106? dispatched by Hattiesburg to Glorybound for an employee who was having seizures.

 

[slhbeard]

I have been receiving TG 60320 and 60321. Any ideas?

 

[morrisr3nd]

AAA Ambulance for

60320 Forrest Perry
60321 Marion Walthall Pike and Jeff Davis

The Glory Bound in HBurg or Ocean Springs?

Damn, now I want a gyro.
