Yes, put them all in. I have heard traffic on all.

It wouldn't hurt to put them all in. The state issues a certain one for each area. For instance, Marshall County dispatchers monitor State Wide 5. That is what their officers use when going out of the home area for a transport or training. They can then talk to dispatch regardless of where they are in the state.

Vigo and surroundings use SW MA 7 as we are in the TASK FORCE 7 area

No, the state does not issue these talk groups to any area. they used at random as available. For example. The District 10 Task Force plans to use SW 5 when activated. This was a local decision made by the District.

Adam ,brings up another affiliation question.
I think I have my own answer but in case a few days ago off HEND site on a SW MA group I heard someone playing the NWS broadcast,right away I went to EVV post site that group wasnt on that tower.

So even though they are called statewide mutual aid groups we must still have a radio affiliated with that group and the tower I am monitoring?
IS even SWMA CALL not auto pushed to all sites?

Seems like atleast ONE SWMA talkgroup would be live on ALL sites even if no radio is affiliated to a site.

Yes, they push out state wide

As i understand it, they push out, as long as a radio is affiliated to that tower. Regardless of the TG it is affiliated on.

The state police dispatch out of Lafayette uses mutual aid talkgroup (D MA 3 mostly I think) as a point to point. I hear White and Carroll Counties communicating with Lafayette on this in place of the old 155.370 at times.

I would leave 155.370 State Police Point to Point in your scanner.You will hear radio traffic on it and it is still used.
