P25 Concord

Slightly off topic, but it looks like Cabarrus/Concord also has talkgroups on VIPER. Anyone know how frequently or infrequently these are used? I don't see multiple dispatch or conference like channels, so I'm assuming these talkgroups look mostly like placeholders than anything else.

All counties have VIPER talkgroups for interoperability. Not all of them use them regularly. I know some Concord PD radios have VIPER programmed into them but that's about it.

Yep. Like Trumpetman says: all counties are issued a "default" template of
TGs (SO, FD, EMS, EM, TAC, MAID) and any other talkgroups above the default listing have to be coordinated through the VIPER folks at the NCSHP.
Just because a county has the VIPER default template talkgroups does not mean they use them. Durham has the default template talkgroups but the
only time I have ever heard anyone on them is when I key up on my city issued radio .

I have heard the sheriffs and Concord PD use the viper radios but they are normally only used in drug surveillance type of situations. I haven't heard them on Viper since the new P25 system came online 2 weeks ago....

I saw talkgroup 7045 light up for a transmission or two this afternoon but not sure what it was...Cabarrus Fire of some sort I suppose.

 

[trumpetman]

LOL...I just got a glimps of the number but didn't hear but a word or 2 of the audio....I am guessing maybe Cabarrus Sheriff Civil but don't count on that just yet...

I'm guessing you're guess is more than likely correct.

I saw TG 7079 pop up with some audio but wasn't paying attention so I don't have a clue for who it was but will be on alert for it.....

Hi Guys,
Rookie question. Been looking at a RS Pro-197. Can I use that for these groups?

yes you can...It is a GRE 600 clone and will receive the digital P25 systems around here.

I have been lisoning to viper lately and it seam like Concord Ems ,Fire ,Cabarrus Sheriff and NCHP have been active . Thy need to stay with viper .It works . Thy have towers every were .

 

[trumpetman]

VIPER doesn't have the radio IDs available to outfit Cabarrus right now. Also, with only 1 VIPER tower in the county, in-building coverage is absolutely impossible in a large majority of the county.

I don't see why you're implying the new P25 system doesn't work. Professional public safety radios are designed to handle the digital simulcast issues much better than scanners, so just because the system doesn't decode well on your scanner doesn't mean that the rest of the legitimate system users are having the same issues.
