SETTRS Jefferson County TGID 569

[Enforcer52]

Any one know what department TGID 569 in the SETRRS Jefferson/Orange/Hardin counties represents?

Keeps showing up but I have not been able to ID it and it is not in RR database.

 

[Enforcer52]

Have been able to identify several TGIDs that are assigned to the TxWARN system that are keying up on the SETRRS system. Most are IDs from the Houston/Harris county area, but also Waller Co SO 1447 is consistently coming in on the SETRRS system and doesn't have any freqs in common between TxWARN and SETRRS.

Anyone have any idea why this is occurring? Didn't know a department could key up on two different systems at the same time.

Are you hearing audio to confirm that these TGIDs are the same agency as TxWARN? TGIDs are unique to a system and even if those agencies are being ISSI or patched to another system, the odd of the TGIDs being the same is incredibly coincidental.

Something fishy is going on but I do not think it is the systems being connected together. Waller CO SO can barely roam into Harris county and has zero need to operate in jefferson county. I also can confirm that SETRRS is nowhere in any of their codeplugs.

On the freqs you are hearing this, please confirm the NAC of the site and frequency.

OK, I will pay more attention tonight. But the last couple of nights Waller Co So would be on the East Walker County tower and the Beaumont SETRRS tower at the same time and I would get duplicate transmissions on SDRTrunk. Would show as Waller Co SO on TxWARN, and 1447 on SETRRS.

I added tgid 1447 to SETRRS and set it to record for future reference.

Ok conditions finally allowed me to receive SETRRS again this morning.

I can report that Waller SO and Waller FD along with several departments from Harris County are coming across the SETRRS system that are actually on the TxWARN system. Was able to verify this by the street names and areas units were being dispatched to.

This on my SDS200 (in ID Search mode) and on my SDRTrunk setup. TxWARN shows an inherited tower in Beaumont that is on the TxWARN system, but the IDs are not showing as being "patched" to SETRR, they are showing up on SETRRS with only their TxWARN TGIDs.

Only freq being monitored is the Jefferson Co Simulcast 854.3625 control channel. Very strange situation to say the least.

Are these systems merging somehow ?

Are these systems merging somehow ?

That's what I am trying to figure out, what is causing this to happen.

Not everything on TxWARN is showing up on SETRRS, just few of the TGIDs.

Conditions fading in and out which is frustrating also!

I see the Navasota site and SETRRS share 851.900. Is it possible when a channel assignment on SETRRS is 851.900 you are actually hearing the Navasota site? Maybe see if you can capture the VC next time it happens and see if it's multiple frequencies or just 851.900.

The two systems aren't being merged so this is the only thing that makes sense to me.

I had set up an ID in SETRRS for Waller Co SO (TxWARN 1447) as: "1447 Beau Tower" since SDRTrunk will play an unknown ID but not record it, so I set it up to be able to record the event.

Here is what I captured this morning in the audio logs. Unfortunately I did not have the SDS200 in record mode this morning to capture the channel. Hopefully this evening conditions will allow SETRRS to come back in.

This is a recording of the dispatcher and unit 522 (Waller Co SO) talking about no more wreckers needed at Peach Ridge and IH-10 recorded off Beaumont SETRRS tower.

Any luck?

Any luck?

Conditions were not great yesterday afternoon or last night, but I did manage to capture 2097 PasaFD Sta4 (TxWarn) at 20:10pm on SETRRS at frequency 853.55000 with ID Search turned on.

This is a frequency of both Brazoria County Simulcast and of the Beaumont Simulcast systems, could this be the culprit?
