I’ve been monitoring the TLC talkgroups for the past few days and haven’t heard a peep. Anyone have any info on them? Anyone else hearing anything?

I see talkgroups spread across the old 800 system and the new 700/P25 system. Maybe the transition is complete!

I've heard nothing either...

on a side note ... I work for Sanitation and they just moved us to the P25 on July 14th and the consensus is that it needs work. I have answered transmissions and my reply was not received on the other end - it's garbled and unreadable - whether in the car, on the street or in a building.
The UHF worked just fine.

What model radio are you guys using in sanitation?

You're still on UHF T-Band, just a different system. Same frequency range of 482-483; they took channels from the SmartZone system and moved them over to the ASTRO 25 system.

On that note, it's worth pointing out that the ASTRO 25 (P25) system 3A8 is comprised of two simulcast cells: Site 30 on UHF T-Band 482-483 MHz, and Site 60 a mixture of 700 and 800 MHz frequencies. Referring to the P25 system as "the 700 system" is no longer accurate, as Site 60 is no longer exclusively 700 MHz, and over time more 800 MHz frequencies from the SmartZone system will be moved to that cell. While both cells are part of the same system and therefore talkgroups and radios could theoretically operate across bands seamlessly, most talkgroups are probably restricted to one cell (frequency band) or the other at this point.

I think what I'll do is make notes in each talkgroup category pointing out which cell is used by that agency, where applicable.

As far as TLC, last I checked they were operating in FDMA mode in the clear on the 700/800 cell.

Assuming they are still operating on the 700/800 cell, I would check for things like talkgroup ID changes, using TDMA mode, and the dreaded secure mode. Could be that they made some recent changes.

They are active currently on the 7/800 MHz side, no change.

Your screenshot indicates that they are now operating in TDMA mode, so I wouldn't exactly call that "no change". I've updated the mode in the database.

No worries, not sure if that's what the issue is with @4-crime, but it's certainly worth noting.

For those of you who submit to the DoITT P25 system...in future submissions please make a note of whether a talkgroup is FDMA or TDMA, as well as which site/cell the talkgroups are operating on. If you happen to hear them on both sites, please note that (probably rare except for maybe OEM/DoITT radios). Thanks.

CQDX, could you do a Channel Activity screen grab for the UHF side of the P25 system? Thanks.
The UHF cell info is accurate and up to date, I checked it recently. What exactly are you looking for?

Which channels are TDMA, like the two in the 700 group and the four in the 800 group.
They are all TDMA capable. Don't be misled by what you see in the screenshot of the 700/800 cell. ASTRO 25 systems will not use the BSI or alternate control channels for traffic unless all other traffic channels are already in use.

Can you go through the radio and let us know what zones and channels are there on the display?
