Im currently looking at the channel plan for VB and under the two Suffolk Fire zones the channels are listed like this:
1634831020265.png

But on the DB, they're listed like this:
1634831059585.png

Would "SFR Fire 2" be "3 FIRE TAC 2" or would "SFR Tac 1" be "3 FIRE TAC 2?"

the beach template should have changed, they just did an OTA reprogram removing all the analog system Tg's and possibly adjusting that template

The names of Suffolk talkgroups have changed. They are no longer using Fire 1,2,3 etc. They are now listed as TAC 1, 2, 3, etc. The RR database for Suffolk/Isle of Wight hasn’t been updated since they changed the names earlier this year.

For the OP's benefit

the channel plan does not list talkgroup IDs for the channels, so you are trying to compare apples to oranges

Fire 2-Fire 5 are now Tac 2-Tac 5, the way I have it setup is TG 1053 as Fire Tac 6 and so on down to Tac 8. That leaves one channel out Tac 15, the last channel I have is TG 1061 as Tac 14

Thank you for all the replies! I would assume Tac 15 is used rarely so it'll probably be difficult to find. I remember seeing a thread or message on here saying that the channels got updated like this, I just wasn't sure.

This is slightly off-topic, but when removing the smartnet talkgroups off the radios did event 1 just move to channel 7 on the vb emergency management zone, or did they just replace channels 7 through 12 with something else and kept event 1 on 13?
