St. Joseph Unknow TGID's

Im using my bcd396xt on search id while I scan and coming up with a ton of talk groups that all sound like police. I looked through the rr database and only found a couple of them. Wondering if there is a better way to refrence these so I could make alpha tags for them. Thanks.

Daggit,
My guess is you are picking up frequncies which are simulcast in St. Joe County. See below Wiki for futher information: Simulcast - The RadioReference Wiki
You should be able to map the talk groups for an alpha tag from the following RR webpage.

Indiana Project Hoosier SAFE-T Trunking System, Statewide, Multi-State - Scanner Frequencies

If they aren't in the DB the best thing to do is just listen for awhile. You should be able to get a handle pretty quickly on what they are used for. Often times if you listen long enough you'll hear the channel referred to by name. If they aren't in the DB, please be sure to let us know about them so we can add them

Thanks all for your help. I hope to contribute in the future with new information I find along the way. Just getting my feet wet right now.
