Very little inside but I could tell you a date when I find out

 

[INDY72]

Just keep eyes open for TG 2 in use. It's usually E, but if you see it active the techs are at work on the system.

Microwave links are being replaced in that end of the state so work is being done in east TN

Ahhh backhaul upgrade time.

 

[surfacemount]

Is it an upgrade or are they failing earlier than expected? Weather has been a little variable and those drums don't always fare well.

 

[INDY72]

Any time your gonna expand network in area you upgrade and also do your maintenance .

 

[buddrousa]

Planned maintenance

Do you know if that backhaul work was related to the big outage last night?

Most of the RFSS 2 sites were in site trunking for about 3 hours.

 

[buddrousa]

Not sure they do not like certain information to be announced

Gotta be something new in the general Cocke/Greene County area, the TGID list on RR.com doesn't have anything above 481##.

 

[WX4JCW]

Did you log any of the ID's on the talkgroup?

I have been listening to Viking and have seen those two talkgroups pop up a lot. I think 48200 is Greene County Sheriff Dispatch and I think 48207 is possibly Greeneville-Greene County EMS. Either 48207 is EMS or smaller police department in Greene County. 48200 is way more active than 48207. But my guess is Greeneville-Greene County EMS. The radio IDs that pop up for 911 dispatch for Greeneville Police and Greeneville Fire talkgroups are the same ones that pop up on those two talkgroups. 201001, 201002, 201003, and 201004 are the radio IDS that I have for Greene County 911. I have also been trying to locate the animal control talkgroup, they recently joined onto TACN as well. I have not heard them yet.

 

[WX4JCW]

Did you log any of the ID's on the talkgroup?

yeah a few,
on 48207 I found 201001 which is more than likely the console and a few in the 40676## range
on 48200 201003 appears to be the console, with radio ID's in the 40674## and 40675## range

2010## are more than likely dispatch consoles and could pop up on any talkgroup

was getting new steer tires in Dandridge and only stayed a few hours

Hearing Mower/Tree Trimming activity on TG 10041. It's either Blount County or Maryville not sure yet.

Hearing Mower/Tree Trimming activity on TG 10041. It's either Blount County or Maryville not sure yet.

A hunch says it might be Maryville. 10040 is Maryville Roads, 10042 is Maryville DPW. (At least per the RRDB).

 

[Floridarailfanning]

A hunch says it might be Maryville.

While 10041 is in the Maryville range, I've heard them working in the county and in the Townsend area numerous times. Unfortunately, the Maryville calls node has never seen this TG so further monitoring is needed.

Knox County: Rural/Metro FD TGs are starting to be active, testing only at this point. Lots of radio checks between units and dispatch on "800". TG IDs 10650 thru 10656. Mixed FDMA/TDMA traffic so far.

No official word on an implementation plan for switching RMFD from VHF to TACN, yet.

Also, a little traffic on AMR (Knox) TG IDs, 10690-10694. Testing as well, I'm sure.
