OTA Aliases on MPSCS?

[Pr999]

It appears that OTA aliases might be in use? I found something labeled "d760ip1" for 4000068 on 83STATW, it also shows it next to 4833159.
I'm not sure if it is one or not.

Correction, it's "d7601ip1" and now it's affiliating on 83DB. Any idea who or what it might be?

I think that is indicating a console.

I spotted a couple of aliases from the Sault Ste Marie site when I was up there last year but I just checked my file and don't see that it saved anything.

I was up there last year too, but my scanner never found any. What kind of aliases did you spot?

Here's a handful I observed. I don't think those are logged either, maybe we can request that on SDRTrunk GitHub or Google group.

That's really weird. I never found any of those, nor have they ever appeared on any of my scanners. It looks like they use a specific format to.

For "d2105ip1"
The only thing that sticks out for me is "ip1", it seems to be the number of the console.
I have no idea what the "d2105" stands for.

But this is a very good discovery. I never knew MPSCS even had talker aliases, but it looks to be only for consoles. Have you found any other units that have aliases tied to them?

IDOT & ISP? How are you getting these?

I have a broadcastify node at home that monitors Muskegon County Simulcast and Kent County Simulcast with a directional yagi antenna.

I run SDRTrunk and those aliases automatically populate, but get purged on reboot (discussed in SDRTrunk Google Group).

I also have a remote node that monitors Ottawa Simulcast

They are very rare near me. Unitrunker logs them now... I have a handful that appear to be consumers energy dispatch, 2 survival flight communications, 1 Great Lakes Energy Dispatch, 1 U of M ER. I have one called Toll Road OP04 with an RID of 93112, not sure where that one is from. Plus the one pr999 mentioned.

Where does unitrunker log it to? And does it require voice channel decoding? I only do CC decode with unitrunker

Talker aliases are sent over the voice channels.

The recent preview/beta versions (2.2.0.37 is most recent) log it on the users tab under the system. But as mtindor said, you need to follow the voice channels to get them, and I don't think there are many.
