PRO-197: "ptch" over TGRP on display?

[JamesPrine]

Hello all!

I"m using my PRO-197 to monitor Louisiana State Police from my site near Ponchatoula (across the Lake from New Orleans). I monitor Troops A, B, and L, and many other agencies using the LWIN P-25 digital trunking system.

When monitoring traffic from Troop A, I see "ptch" occasionally overlaying the TGRP portion on the display, and could not find anything here or in the documentation explaining what it is. I've never seen it before, and no other entity on LWIN, including Troops B or L, shows it.

Any idea what it is?

Thanks!
