Once you guys confirm it is THP, please submit the TG's. And hope that they DO stay in the clear! TY in advance.

I've heard those 23XX units also and it's really confusing. They only used 22XX numbers back when I was a dispatcher. The highest was 2280. I imagine they coulld have added over 20 more Trps since then but
that seems hard to believe. BTW 2nd District seems to have picked up Bledsoe County. They used to
be part of Cookevilles District. The times they are a changin'. Per my 2041 entry yesterday I confirmed TGID 47004 is THP Chattanooga.

For future reference: When you confirm data such as Tones, Usage, switches to digital for conventional, or CC, TGid's etc for TRS - PLEASE use the submit buttons, that is why they are there. Only a few of us admins actually dive into the forums to glean data. By using the submit buttons it is garunteed that an admin WILL see it. Because 2 of you have verified vias this forum the usage of that TG, I considered it confirmed data and entered it in the TVRTRS TG listing. TY in advance and after the fact.:cool:

I was waiting to make sure I actually could confirm it before submitting. I just posted on here to see if anyone else heard it and could help confirm it. And after getting others to confirm what I thought, I was going to submit it, but you had already added it to the system.

Thanks,
David

Back a few years ago when the CVE (Commercial Vehicle Enforcement) merged with the THP, they switched the CVE unit numbers to 100 higher than the troopers (i.e. Chattanooga used 23XX unit numbers for the CVE in addition to the 22XX for the other troopers). They did that so everything would be uniform and still be able to identify what district each trooper was from.

And since you were trying to pull the old 10-code list out, there is a copy of it, as well as the district map in the THP Wiki entry:

Thank you very much for the CVE info. One less thing to wonder about! Appreciate the 10 Code link. I already got another one from http://www.qsl.net/n4yek/THP 10codes.htm it also has 10 of their Signal codes but is incomplete since I know it goes at least up to Signal-19. They also use Codes, like Code-4, but I cannot find any info on them. When the TRPs used to go 10-7 they'd give their activity. I'm guessing Code-4 might mean 'negative activity'. I have to say being able to monitor THP is like a class reunion. Never could monitor their VHF freqs, now I can hear the TRPs as far away as Coffee County. How great is that?

Remember, with a wide area TRS, you can hear ANY TG ANYWHERE at ANY TIME. Especially with agencies like THP, TEMA, etc... If a unit rolls into town that has that TG in thier radio, and the radio affiliates with the site your monitoring, then you will hear traffic on that TG. When it unaffiliates (leaves), you will no longer hear traffic on it. Being your talking about the Capital, and THP, you will get to hear a LOT of TG's from ALL around the state.

Considering the calls I was hearing were no where near Nashville all centering around the Manchester scales and on eastward I'd say their radios were never affiliated with the Tn towers site. I think it just varies. On occasion ill hear Life Force with their ops, Erlanger MC, so and so off the Tn Towers CC. It comes and goes. The only agency statewide that's consistent every day is TEMA. It's fun when they pop up though. I could do without the prison stuff though, wish they'd operate on their own system.

OK lets try this again. ANY radio with those TG's programmed in that comes near enough to a site your monitoring to affiliate will allow you to hear the traffic on that TG. That radio does NOT have to actually be transmitting. All it has to do is HAVE the TG programmed into it. So ANY THP unit with that TG programmed that rolls through and affiliates with that site allows you to hear it. When that radio unaffiliates, you will no longer hear it. Same with TEMA, TDOC, X county SO, X town VFD etc. The Helo's are even more interesting as they can affiliate with multiple sites in rapid succession. And being that the site your talking about is near Nashville (the State of Tennessee's Capital City) and thus HQ for EVERYONE, you will hear all kinds of traffic on TG's that have NADA to do with local things because everyone will be rolling in and out all the time. Thus thier radios with all those interesting TG's will be affiliating as they get in "capture" range of the sites and so on Which makes ANY of the TVR, and TroopNET sites in and around Nashville perfection for nabbing, and IDing new TG's . For more info on this topic check out ANY of the other State's forums pertaining to large Wide Area TRS's such as LWIN, MSWIN, AWIN, VIPER, VIPER 25, Palmetto 800, Palmetto 25, MARCS, etc.... Even Entergy's systems. Or go to the technical forums for trunking systems and you will get almost a college education's worth of data lol.

Oh and if you want to see this in action, just use one of the Trunking Analysis Softwares such as Trunk-88, T4Win, UniTrunker, PRO96Com etc. You can actually see as radios affiliate vias RID, TG's that broadcast, RID's using it, patches etc. You will also see every CC, ACC, VC's, SysID, Site ID, SIte #, Site Nieghbor Lists, Site Health etc....

And to really blow your mind, just wait til MSWIN is completely done, AWIN's expansion is done,LWIN's expansions, TXWARN is done, Alabama's new system is done, and Georgia ever finishes up thier statewide system..... And a massive hurricane blows up, or the New Madrid blows off steam..... The full GulfWIN gets activated... That is MSWIN, LWIN, AWIN, TXWARN, AL's system, TVR/TroopNET, MOWIN, GA's system, possibly FL's system also, ALL linked up through software control to form a HUGE TRS. If that happens you could possibly hear an TX DPS Trooper and an MEMA coordinator talking to an TEMA official about something an ADEM guy needs for them to help an City of Atlanta guy.

BTW, heard it on the Oral TVRTS site, using my PSR 800. Have not confirmed yet if it is Phase I or II. Will be listening for more info.

I am hearing this in Roane County on the Mt. Roosevelt site using a 996XT, so it is phase I.

re: The state of Tennessee Advanced Communications Network (TACN)

I can confirm they are using Phase 1 on the TVRTS Loudon site (2-22)... hearing 47004 loud and clear on my 996XT. I am betting this is just temporary until they build out the troopnet sites.

Also because the TVR TRS is not 100% Phase II ready yet. There are still sites that are FDMA only, as well as the majority of the ones that are Phase II ready are in Compatability Mode. The TroopNET is Phase II from the ground up. TroopNET is at least a year or more away from even sections of it fully online. The TVR original set up is 100% done. The expanded set up is around 75% done.
