Now I see it in the database. I was probley tired when I went to look for it. Is Metro East for Central IL?

 

[menkes]

No, they were in the clear. 1578 was ENC though. I'm going to run the wildcard for a while to see what else pops up. Quite interesting doing that! I am confused a little though ,only running site 126, and I am getting some weird TGs showing. Yes, I have a discone.

NWCD still in FDMA as of now.

Unsure of how much traffic is FDMA, sorry don't have time to break out the analyzer...

Almost all dispatch traffic has been for about a week now. I haven't seen any of the secondary talkgroups (fireground, traffic, citywide, tactical, etc.) operate in FDMA. I can't find any "odd" radio ID's online that would cause it, and even if they programmed a radio wrong, there'd need to be a radio on each talkgroup that was programmed as FDMA, and I would say the odds of them programming that many radios wrong across multiple agencies is pretty low.

Argonne National Laboratory (ANL Chicago) Talkgroups

What tower does the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL Chicago) Talkgroups resite on? Could someone tell me because I am not for sure.

Again, whatever site the subscriber radios affiliate with. Usually they are on 101, 102 or 113 due to the location of the Lab but they could be anywhere if a subscriber is floating around away from the area.

Noted over the last couple days, was a talk group not listed in the db, TG 3736

Seems to be a transportation or highway maint channel but not sure since I wasn't able to find a listing for it.

Has anyone heard it, other than myself?

Thanks,

Were you able to note any of the RIDs being used? This could help determine who the users are.

BTW, someone reported hearing TG 3742 active on the Normal Site last Thursday with a 350001 RID (unknown user) noted. I imagine that these two TGs might be related due to their proximity to each other.

No, I didn't note what RID was since I normally pay little attention, unless it's encrypted but the next time it's active I'll look.
There was a lot of testing today on TG 3741 as well, including someone hitting their distress button by accident.

IDOT Update

I picked up the same talkgroups. I picked up Blommington,IL yard. I think that was 5664. I didnt post it days ago do to rules. It was picked up on the Mason County tower.

 

[MikeyC]

Logged an IDoT D2 radio flipping through talkgroups the other day ... The "D2 Local" groups looks like they will include 3733 - 3742 (I would assume 3731 and 3732 also)

They're back on TDMA, it would appear.

There was a problem with some APX radios shutting down/rebooting, that happened around the same time NWCD went FDMA, perhaps it just took this long to get the radios fixed. Just speculation.
