Granted a majority of their talk groups are permanently Encrypted? Were the names of the channels changed? I have an older list from here and it had names such as "Common" and "Spare."

Granted a majority of their talk groups are permanently Encrypted? Were the names of the channels changed? I have an older list from here and it had names such as "Common" and "Spare."

You know there's a change history page you can peruse through. Not seeing any changes relevant to your inquiry but 5 talkgroups were added last September. If you want to go back even further in time then hop into the Wayback machine. Oldest snapshot I was able to locate was from 2022 & I'm not seeing "common" or "spare" game commission talkgroups so I'm guessing your list may be older? Did it come from the Radioreference database or another source?

 

[One13Truck]

I miss them more than I ever thought I would’ve. Never started listening until the new P25 was being built out. I get very little here in my little slice of hell but they were always busy. Living in an area that sees quite a bit of bear activity it was nice to keep track of where Smokey & Yogi were visiting that night. I guess that has to be super duper very too secret.

But, yeah. In the time I was able to listen I never heard them refer to anything as Spare or Common in the NE. Maybe other regions did. But not here.

Thanks for the replies. These aliases were on an original list.
