SDPD South Eastern talkgroup

[desertman]

I had South Eastern on all day yesterday but never heard anything. ( Paradise Hills area).

Is that talk group active?

Thanks
Ted

It's probably dispatched on another group, and only used in times when there's so much traffic that they need to 'split' that division off, dispatch-wise.

Just to check, though I haven't run the trunk monitor in some months on the SD City Trunk here's channel 'hits' cumulative for the various dispatch groups I have monitored:

1296 - Southern Dispatch 1 : 61991 hits
1360 - Southern Dispatch 2: 6342 hits
1456 - Eastern Dispatch 1: 60456 hits
1520 - Eastern Dispatch 2: 5950 hits
1616 - Western Dispatch 1: 49235 hits
1680 - Western Dispatch 2: 4408 hits
1776 - Central Dispatch 1: 53469 hits
1840 - Central Dispatch 2: 4639 hits
1936 - Northeastern Dispatch 1: 114 hits [I believe these are 'on' Northern or Eastern]
2000 - Northeastern Dispatch 2: 6 hits
2096 - Southeastern Dispatch 1: 1738 hits [Dispatched on Eastern or Southern, not certain]
2160 - Southeastern Dispatch 2: 177 hits
2256 - Mid City Dispatch 1: 56021 hits
2320 - Mid City Dispatch 2: 5774 hits
2416 - North City West Dispatch 1: 1480 hits [Probably actually use Northern]
2480 - North City West Dispatch 2: 517 hits

Southeastern division units always use Southern as their dispatch talkgroup. Southeastern is only used during special events like when there is a game at Petco or Qualcomm. Its been that way for as long as I can remember. Probably too much trouble to go through the list of talkgroups and rename them to something more appropriate which is the case with a few talkgroups on the SD system.
Same situation for Northeastern and N City West being on Eastern and Northern.

Talkgroup renaming/reprogramming I'm sure isn't a priority per se but the fleetmap may undergo a complete revamp if rebanding ever happens in our region...or they expand the 700 P25 system and start issuing newer subscriber equipment and do some mass moves over to it.

Southeastern division units always use Southern as their dispatch talkgroup.

To make it a little easier the South-east area are the 400 units and the Southern area are the 700 units.

Exactly. Both the City and the RCS are planning ahead for rebanding (if it ever reaches us) by sitting down and updating TG ids to reflect current use and changed naming conventions.

(Reprogramming approximately 5,000 RCS and City fire radios to unify the fleetmap last year took about 7 months. There's around 21,000 radios on the RCS today.)

Thanks all for the help. Tonight I'm hearing traffic on South Eastern and have added Southern.
