I haven't seen any large dump of talkgroup info so I figured I will share what I have noticed. None of this information has come from official sources and is totally the results of monitoring the few clear talkgroups and making logical connections between radio id's and talkgroups base on affiliations and transmissions. This info is not helpful to the majority of folks as all the comm's are encrypted (almost all)
You will note that Talkgroup id's are clustered. It seems logical that all the sequential tg id's belong to one agency. You will then see gaps in talkgroup id's. Obviously allowing for expansion. The same with radio ID's. If you use software like DSD+, you can see the encryption key. It only follows that most agencies will use the same key id. The Manitoba government uses a key id=0002 for example.
All the radio ID's for consoles from Brandon 911, RCMP, etc, are all start with 6XXXXX
The major users are:
Bell Techs - 101-208
Natural resources - 1000 - 1089
OFC - 1500-1502
Rural Fire to 911 - 1520
Non fire to 911 - 1521
Various MB govt Dept - 1560-1785 not continuous
Rural Ambulances - 1890-1916 including STARS
Highways - 2200-2226
More MB Govt - 2450-2583
2MB Protective Services - 2590-2596
Brandon Police - 6275-6284
Various RM works departments - 10000-16101 - some in the clear
First Nation Police Service - 26360-26363
CCRA - 28000-28032
Either DND or Federal Agency - 28150-28161
17 Wing - 28170-28176
Mountain View Buses - 31000-31004
CP Rail Police - 31100-31102
Winnipeg Airport - 31440-31455
RCMP - 40000-40168 and 40980-40999
RCMP Joint with other agencies - 40213-40230
Common Interagency - 41000-41007
EMO Ops - 41008-41010
Common Police - 41011
Rural Fire - 41200-42004
Rural Police dispatched via Brandon - 42050-42065
Winnipeg Police - 43000-43007
Winnipeg Fire - 43101-43103
Bell - 50001-50012
For the various rural fire departments, Radio ID's start at 80000. Each department appears to have a block of 200 ID's.
For example:
80000-80199 - RM of Alexander
80200-80399 - RM of Alonsa
80400-80599 - Altona
It appears that each block of 200 radio ID's has been assigned alphabetically. If you compare against a list of the Rural Fire departments, it appears to match up quite well.
In some of these blocks of 200, they also assign the police department for that area and possibly the works folks. For example in Altona
80400-80449 - Altona Fire
80450-80499 - Altona Police
80500-80503 - Altona Works
RCMP radio ID's range from 500000-519152 (50xxxx=mobiles, 510xxx-511xxx portables, 519xxx base radios)
WPS radio id's are 810XXXX, WFPS, radio IDS are 820XXXX
I take no responsibility for the accuracy of this info, it is just my own personal observations and conjecture based on 5 years of control channel monitoring and understanding how radio systems could be structured. Any traffic that is encrypted is impossible to monitor with the knowledge of the encryption key. (256 bit AES) There is no guessing or brute force attacks so don't even bother.
Hopefully this is helpful for someone.
I believe these are Altona Public Works Radios.
I believe these to be Winkler Fire and the Talkgroup is the Winkler local or Tac channels
Further to the organization of the rural fire talkgroups., I believe they are organized first by Mutual Aid districts, then within each district, there will be various departments, usually by RM division.
So I believe they may look something like:
Mutual Aid area 1 -Dispatch A
Mutual Aid area 1- Dispatch B
Mutual Aid area 1- Dispatch C
Mutual Aid Area 2 -Dispatch A
Mutual Aid area 2- Dispatch B
Mutual Aid area 2- Dispatch C
The mutual Aid Districts I am aware of are:
| EASTMAN |
| PEMBINA TRIANGLE |
| BOYNE RIVER |
| NORTH EAST |
| SOUTH INNTERLAKE |
| PEMBINA VALLEY |
| TURTLE MOUNTAIN |
| ANTLER RIVER |
| OAK LAKE |
| GRANDVALLEY |
| NEEPAWA |
| SOUTH CENTRAL |
| WEST CENTRAL |
| RIDING MOUNTAIN |
| NORTH INTERLAKE |
| SWAN RIVER VALLEY |
| CLEARWATER |
| LAKE WINNIPEG |
| HUDSON BAY |
| LAKE WINNIPEGOSIS |
If you put the MAD alphabetically, usually 3 or 4 dispatch groups per MAD starting with Antler River at 41200, the dispatch groups extend up to the 41299.
Then starting at 14300 the individual departments have their own local working talkgroup.. These seem to be clustered together, like all the Boyne MAD departments will have talkgroups adjacent to each other. These may be shared with other departments within their own MAD.
Then the higher talkgroups like from 41500 approximately and up is where each dept seems to have their own private tactical talkgroup.
You will see the 911 consoles calling on the MAD dispatch groups and then the departments will switch off to their local talkgroup.
If a department wants to call 911, they have a button to press that alerts the dispatcher they are being called. They will also call in on talkgroup 1520 or 1521.
If there is any volunteer firefighters, they could confirm the talkgroup matrix in their radios.
