Last minute trip to Panama City Beach area. I have some confusion on some talkgroups especially the fire ones on the Bay County P25 System. I am looking for advice. I am programming a Unication G5 to go with me so I am limited to 64 talkgroups per scan list. What Talkgroups are the primary fire Talkgroups and used most often? I see there is basically two bay county fire dispatch channels listed which is confusing me. They are BCF_DISP (2001) and COUNTY_DISPATCH (2101). I am leaning toward programming some and/or all the 21XX series fire talkgroups. I am thinking about not programming the 20XX series fire TGS. Also, is 2050 still the EMS channel or are they on COUNTY_DISPATCH (2101) with Fire Units? Then is Lynn Haven Fire, Panama City Beach Fire, Panama City Fire, and Parker Fire dispatched on its own TGs or that County Dispatch (2101)? Also what are SURF 11 (2119) and SURF 12 (2122)? They are listed as fire Dispatch. Panama City Police Department, Panama City Beach Police Department, and Lynn Haven Police Department use their own dispatch, correct? I am guessing Springfield Police, Parker Police use BCSO MUNICIPAL PD DISPATCH (1020)? If any of you have a sold list of TGs to fit around the primary dispatch channels for fire, ems, and law then an emergency TAC channel that incidents get moved to for any of them please let me know. Or any other solid frequencies.I plan on adding the Lifeguard TGs as well but if there is any other ones worth adding please let me know. I have almost no interest in public works and transit unless they have good info. Lastly, are the announcement TGs worth putting in including 2000 Bay Fire Announcement?

I know Panama City Fire if a station gets a call they got to a tac channel Say St 1 gets a call goes to tac 1 if St 5 gets a call goes to tac 5 PCB Fire gets a call goes to a tac I think there is 31 32 33 Stations. Bay County Fire not sure how that one works. I use to live in that area til 3 years ago at that time the system was brand new.
